Re: Adding the rest of my usernames

Have you remembered to enable POP access for these accounts?

Go to the Inbox on the web mail interface for each of the account and click on the Mail Settings link which you'll see towards the top right-hand corner of the page. You'll see a Forwarding and Pop tab, where you can enable the account for POP access.

Re: Adding the rest of my usernames

Have you actually set the other person up an account on Sky.com and then joining them to your original account. Whatever username you use for them becomes their email address.

I did that, I think the trouble may be that I have Windows Vista.

Re: Adding the rest of my usernames

I set my extra accounts up under Vista, and am able to access them from Windows Mail and Thunderbird under Vista, so I don't thing that's the problem.

Can you be a bit more specific about what's going wrong. Are you able to view the email inboxes of the extra users via the web interface? Is it just the POP and SMTP access that you're stumbling on?

Hi there, I am also having problems with mail, I have tried to use OUtlook Express I have followed instructions word for word in the Sky booklet but to no avail, all Sky say is that they do not support Outlook Express I have even tried Microsoft Outlook for mail but still get the same problem, it seems Sky are determined I only use Sky mail.

Re: Adding the rest of my usernames

I tried setting mail up wuth outlook express and failed miserably.
I now use Mozilla Thunderbird.
Although i had to change a couple of settings listed in the "how to".
I kept getting error messages, saying sky doesn`t support authentication, so when setting up Thunderbird, under Server Settings, tick the SSL box, but DO NOT tick the "use secure authentication" box.
It works for me.

Re: Adding the rest of my usernames

Hi again, I can't get the additional usernames verified and I have set Outlook up exactly as per instructions from Sky.
