My ISP has told me that my settings in my email account for my email address are perfect and that I should contact Microsoft.  I can send email to the ISP's server, but I can receive email from that incoming (for me) server.  (The outgoing mail server is different from the incoming mail server.)  I have no problem receiving email for my gmail account.

Additional info: I just restarted my computer and when I first brought up Windows Live Mail it accessed my ISP's server and downloaded my mail.  I then took it down and tried to access it again and it again gave me the error message that it was waiting for the server to respond and asked if I wanted to wait for 60 seconds to try again or to Stop.

Win 8 Live Mail was also working fine for me until I upgrade to Win 8.1 this morning. Now it constantly give error message that it cannot find the email servers. I have 2 gmail (IMAP) account and one streamyx (POP3) account and all have similar errors. Please refer to error message and mail server set ups below. Please take note that I have no issue with all 3 mails when I use Windows Mail app. I have also repaired Win Essential 2012 successfully but problem did not go away.

Outlook.com stopped connecting to my att.net POP3 mail as Thursday, 10/24. I have a ssbcglobal.net email account and an att.net email account that are no longer being refreshed in Outlook.com. 

I was able to see my mail on my iPhone via my hotmail.com account, but that now does not work.  I deleted the hotmail.com account from the iPhone and created new entries for each account separately.  The accounts created on the iPhone successfully connected to email server, but the server and port combination is different than what is allowed in Outlook.com.  The incoming mail server to which the iPhone connects is imap.mail.yahoo.com.  It uses SSL and the port number is 993.  I do not know the outgoing mail server settings.

Outlook.com defaults the incoming mail server to inbound.att.net and port number to 995. The server name can be changed, of course, but the only options for port numbers are 110 and 995.  Is there any way to override the available port number options so that I can try to connect to imap.mail.yahoo.com?


Thanks, Rick

Hi All

          Not sure if I'm in the right place, But here goes : I'm trying to setup TalkTalk with Mail APP but unable to make it work, with the setting I have from TT it will receive mail but unable to send That is with the TalkTalk settings as follows:

IMAP

Login Name : *** Email address is removed for privacy ***

Incoming mail server : mail.talktalk.net

Incoming port : 143

Outgoing mail server : smtp.talktalk.net

Outgoing Port : 587

Outgoing SSL : yes

Outgoing Authentication : yes

 

If I can not use that setting, the POP3 only the ports are different.

Incoming Port : 110

Outgoing Port : 587  ( sorry the same )

 

I tried by Add your other account :

Email address: Me******@talktalk,net

Username : *********

Password : **********

Incoming : mail.talktalk.net  Port 143

Outgoing : smtp.talktalk.net Port 587

Outgoing SSL : yes

Outgoing Auth : yes

use the same user name & password to send & receive email: yes

 

That is the setup look forward to your reply. If I have the wrong place can you put me in

the right place.   Best regards Keith.. 

When I use the mail application on my MacBook, I can receive emails however when I try to reply to them, it says that there is a server issue as my hotmail account is 'offline'. When I go on to my preferences and opened up the advanced settings, it appears that the SMPT (The outgoing mail server) is offline and the POP(incoming mail) is working fine. I have tried both selecting and unselecting the SSL check box, re-entered my password and I have also deleted and re-added the hotmail account to my mail app. When i log on to outlook.com both servers work fine and I am able to send emails from here so I am at a bit of a loss to why they wont send from the Mac Mail app.

I would be grateful for any suggestions on how this problem can be resolved! Many thanks.
