Just to try something different
on your new laptop , instead of using Microsoft Mail client
can you open up Outlook and try setting up an account using the same configuration as before?

Are you using Vista on you New laptop?

How about the Windows Firewall setting in that POO version called Vista you are running. What are it's settings?

Worth a look:)

Hi Andy;

any news of your Email issue? have you managed to sort it out?

No change from yesterday.
Intend phoning bigSwamp and going thru it with them.
New laptop is Vista,Trend antivirus uninstalled the 90 day windows promo antivirus.
Thanks
Andrew

Stupid question, but the other machine isn't set to download and then delete the mails, is it? With POP3, they only stay on the server if you tell the mail client to leave them there....it isn't usually the default.

Otherwise, go to Tools/Options/Advanced/Maintenance, and then tick the "Mail" option under "Troubleshooting" and send me the log file and I'll have a look what's happening. (Search for "pop3.log", as there are a few places it can get put depending on how Vista was installed).

Feel free to ring me tomorrow too, if you like.

Would still think it is worth checking to see if Windows Firewall is on or not.

Windows firewall is off.
May need to go secure with server,off to find more info on bigswamp:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Ok,some but no progress!!!!
We have a wireless router on the dinosaur.
From Bigpond,if its not a direct connection,the secure settings are needed.
Tried them in a number of combinations,now getting error messages.One on Mail,one from bigpond.It is really annoying me.Havent written the errors down,1 is to do with port numbers.Cant find on bigpond which port nos to use for Mail with secure settings.
Even re-started didnt work.Have been pressing APPLY as req.
YEP GETTING MORE CONFUSED!!!!
