Thanks Kayak. I'll try and sort it later today.

Evening.

don't know if anyone can help?

a) I am trying to get outlook to work with a hosted email address and I keep getting the following error:

Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Account: 'pop.1and1.co.uk', Server: 'pop.1and1.co.uk', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F

I have spoken to 1and1 and they can't really help, all is ok their end. I can't send or receive mail.

b) Kayak (the man of all knowledge!) I am looking to buy some offshore companies but it seems the Jersey etc.. are no longer tax havens? Do I have to go the the BVI etc..? Any ideas?

Thanks.

Mr E drop me a note re offshore.......did a huge amoutn of digging on it last year.....

Mr E

If you are having trouble withOutlook can you get your mail with http://mail2web.com

Hi Treb,

Dont think your AM email is enabled on here and my filing systems are crap so I would never find your email address :-) mjp1234554321@aol.com

Thanks.

Thanks Opt. Can you send mail too through the site?

Mr E

Yes you can but I think the mail has Mail2Web on it. Also, you have to check the send copy to yourself box if you need a copy of it.

E---email sent.......

Thanks Opt. It wont let me log in for some reason, keeps saying error?

Mr E

Assuming you are using the right password then I have never known Mail2Web to fail to connect to a standard POP3 account.

Is your email server a POP3 one?
Does it require special authentcation?

BTW you should be able to send emails from Outlook using the your ISP's SMTP server. You should not have to enter the correct details of your incoming account.

Thanks Opt. Do you know where I can find my ISP;s (AOL) SMTP server details?

Mr E

I imagine that the details are on their website but with AOL it may not be possible. In fact they could be the reason that you can't connect to your mailserver.

Have you got an account with a proper ISP that you can check things out on?

Mr Euro, have you keyed in just the first part of your email address (before the '@') under account name for the incoming mail server? Check your password too.

thanks guys.

Kayak no in fact I have put the email account ID i.e. m371****9-2 under account name for the incoming mail server (on outlook), is this wrong? Tried password.

I'm not familar with 1and1 but you should type in the account name for email collection and its password, making sure upper and lower case are correct in each case. Often they are the same as the first part of the email address. Check with 1and1 to be sure.

ive installed Norton Internet security 2005 on my kids PCS.On mine it runs fine. intel 4/ 2.3. 512 ram.
On their machines the parental control can take up to 3 minutes to load,on mine about 8 seconds,they have athlon xp and 256 ram.
Any idea what the prob can be?

HELP!
Decided to re-install my son`s XP home due to Tons of spyware.Bulldog/Webrebates etc.I dont know how they got there as Norton was up and running and password protected.Hoping they are not on the recovery discs.It a PC World computer. A Fujitsu Siemens one.If that helps?? :-)
After re-installing some still there! Then tried installing my XP PRO Copy. This worked. All Spy ware had gone. Went to activate product, which went ok.Then I got one of those shutdown in 1 minute boxes. Cant remember the name. If I remember rightly it will keep doing this.
How do I format drive properly and re-install the provided XP Home edition and make sure there are no nastys lurking.

Boot the machine from the instalation CD it will eventually ask you whether you want to do a new install or repair. Select new and you will be asked where you want to install it. I can't remember the exact messages but you need to delete the existing partition and then create a new one. All of your existing data will be lost.

I did that Optomist.But on restarting ran a virus and adaware scan and still lots there.Wondering if it could be on the recovery disks!

What recovery disks are you using?
