Do the ports have to be changed?

[j.m@talk]

I didn't have to change any ports, :confused: , Cwin managed to get his going OK :cool:

Umm this is odd :rolleyes:

[j.m@talk]

Just tested your mail account from here Rampage & all works fine from my oe.................. I tell ya........... It's yer settings ;)

[rraehal]

I can not access mail via Outlook or Outllok express either. I tried Squirrel and I can not get in. I can get in at webmail.powweb.com.
Since we have a new server I am not sure what is happening. I did not get a mail saying I had a new password.

my account is marachon@setiteam.com.

I sent a PM with a working address to get my new password.

[Bigjakkstaffa]

Wouldnt go for me

In the end i uttered the famous words 'Sod it' and went to do sumink else

--Jakk:t

Could it be an ISP restriction? I never could set it up through eudora, just figured my ISP was blocking it somehow.

[RampageIII]

Any changes needed here(attached)?

[j.m@talk]

I have a couple of calls to make & then I'll look in to it:)

The my server requires authentication check box may require activating & "Use same settings as my incoming mail server" Logon information may be required, subject to geographical variations)

Does this help? :t

[Scavenger7]

Tried that, and got the same results..

[rraehal]

It didn't help me either.

I have deleted and set up the account serveral times in Outlook and I tried Express again today.

Are we have DNS issues? After we move dour site there was some DNS servers still pointing to our old address.

But I can access via the web.

[j.m@talk]

I really do think we do have DNS issues :(

I'm booking a nervous breakdown about now :(

Buggar Buggar Buggar Buggar Buggar Buggar Buggar Buggar Etc etc :confused:

[j.m@talk]

I'm a bit stuck for what to suggest! ummmmmmmm

[RampageIII]

So what is the advantage of having a IMAP account over the POP3?

[j.m@talk]

I hadn't realised they were Imap accts, The servers are in Texas so its real odd that you guys are having trouble getting to them


Umm :(

Hey guys :)

jm maybe you should check if there's specific settings to change for IMAP accounts.
Not even sure if IMAP is what is required in your case.
The default setup with this server is POP3.

IMAP supports multiple mailboxes. POP3 is for a single mailbox BUT can POP3 support more than one users (aliases)? Cause that's what you did (correct me if I'm wrong) you created new aliases for each user to the same mailbox and not actual new mailboxes.

Other than that IMAP leaves the messages on the server.

Could be a good idea to read the Help section in the admin control panel jm ;)

if I find something I'll tell ya http://www.fancysplace.com/smileys/cool_shades2.gif

---------------------------------------------------

POP3 Versus IMAP4
There are many fundamental differences between POP3 and IMAP4. Depending on your UA, your MTA, and your needs, you might use one or the other, or even both. The advantages of POP3 are

It is very simple.

It is widely supported.

Due to its simplicity, POP3 is often limited. For example, it can only support one mailbox, and the messages must be deleted from the server (although many implementations support a "pseudo-online" mode allowing messages to be left on the server).

IMAP4 has several distinct advantages:

Stronger authentication

Support for multiple mailboxes

Greater support for online, offline, or disconnected modes of operation

IMAP4's online mode support allows UAs to download only a subset of the messages from the server, search for and download only messages matching a certain criteria, and so on. IMAP4 also allows a user or UA to move messages between server folders and delete certain messages. IMAP4 is much better suited for the mobile user who needs to work at several different computers, or the user who needs to access and maintain several different mailboxes.

The major drawback to IMAP4 today is that it is not widely deployed by ISPs, notwithstanding the fact that many IMAP4 clients and servers exist today.

[RampageIII]

I've tried it both ways and no joy, so far.
