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.

Iain

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?

Fujitsu siemans Product recovery
Windows Home Edition SP1A.
Nearly finished loading on his machine.Downloaded the SPWARE removal tool from Symantec as well.So ill run that first

Update:
Loaded ok: No sign of any AD Stuff.Just installing Norton 2005 Before attempting Internet connection.Still cant fathom out how it got infected.On my machine Ive never had anything get through with Norton.

Iain

If you can get hold of a copy then I strongly reccomend installing service pack 2 before you connect to the internet.

Finally there and bug free.Ive been at this since 4pm!!!!
Thanks optomist.
have a virtual one on me

Thanks Iain ;-)

One(Final):-) Prob.
On shutdown get a grey box saying waiting for "ccApp to close"Any ideas what this is and how to rectify it??

Iain it's something to do with NAV. This link gives some info on sorting it http://www.box-one.org/new-3884503-4523.html
