Vista - Sending & Receiving Mail

Gary/Shawn, I have tried disabling the autotuning feature and this made no
difference. Before doing this I logged on to Winmail and it sent a message
from last night but as soon as it tried to download messages it just stops
and goes to error report. Not sure that I'll get much from asking the hotel
if they have a filter on the line as their English and my Chinese are poor
but I'll ask them.

To help pinpoint the problem, you may want to download and install
Thunderbird:

It would be interesting to see if it has the same problem as WM.

Hi Gary,
I have tried using Thunderbird and Outlook 2007, neither of them will
download my emails. They both can see that I have emails to do load but after
the connection, authorisation and then onto download, it just stops as if
somerthing is stopping them coming through. I'm quite sure that the problem
is with the connection coming through the Hotel that I'm staying in. Think
that for the next 3 months I will just have to use Yahoo Mail until I can get
home or see if there is anything that the hotel can change in their settings.

Thanks for you help, time and effort.
Cheerz, Marcus

Marcus,

It seems more like something on the hotel's end, or their provider, now with you having the same results on the other email programs. The website email is probably your best solution until the hotel can confirm anything from their end.

Good luck to you,
Shawn

Hi,

Check with your email provider's website on their setup instructions and double check you POP3 server name. Their website should guide you through the setup. It could be something as simple as a typo.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Thanks for that feedback, and for carrying out the test I suggested.
At least now you know for sure what is causing the trouble.

It looks like you have DSL service through SBC/AT&T. Follow their
setup instructions:

If you need more help, we would need to see the exact error message,
like the one you quoted below.
