windows mail

I'm currently having loads of problems with windows mail. I was having the
password problem that has appeared on the community many times, tried the
fixes posted but none worked (I stopped short of starting all over again).
The password problem has stopped, but I am now getting the error message

Account: 'pop3.blueyonder.co.uk', Server: 'pop3.blueyonder.co.uk',
Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '.', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error
Number: 0x800CCC18

please be gentle, I'm not the most technically minded!

 

This may work, open OE > Tools > Accounts > highlight the account >
Properties > Servers Tab and remove the tick from ‘Log on using secure….’
and/or ‘My server requires…’.

Check your email account settings. They should be as follows:

My incoming mail server is a: POP3 server.

Incoming mail (POP3): pop3.blueyonder.co.uk

Outgoing mail (SMTP): smtp.blueyonder.co.uk

Make sure to uncheck the box next to "My server requires authentication".

I should have said WM (Windows Mail) not OE.

this has cured the error listed below, however the username and password
screen has re appeared, it won't accept my username and password (I have them
written down so I know I'm using the correct ones.

I too was having this problem, it turns out, all i had to do was
rightclick my blueyonder account click properties then server tab and
then the part that says "log on id (if different from e-mail address)" i
just put in my full e-mail address (e.g your-name@blueyonder.co.uk)

job done.
