Apple Mac Mail preferences for Sky

Hi,

I am new to Sky, does anyone know what the preference settings are for Mail. I have recently changed from Orange.

Info needed = Incoming Mail Server & Outgoing Mails server (SMTP).

Thanks in anticipation

Re: Apple Mac Mail preferences for Sky

Hi
I'm also new to this. Love sky but want to continue accessing my mail in Apple Mail. I've followed all the instructions above, several time, but still cannot receive sky mail in Apple Mail. Any ideas?
Thanks
Sue

Re: Apple Mac Mail preferences for Sky

Well knowing what errors you are seeing is a first step, also have you logged into sky.com and gone into email and tools with the login name and password as you have to enable POP on the inbox mail settings screen first.
