Sky Email and Outlook 2007

Hoping somebody can help. I cannot set up Email with Outllook 2007. I have tried what I think is everything.
Enabled POP3
Changed all the necessary including making sure user name has @sky.com after
Tried changing my password to see if it helps
Everything is set it keeps asking me for a password which i put in its definatley correct but the box keeps coming up. Its driving me mad.

A) Ensure that you've selected SSL for both both incoming and outgoing connections.
B) The logon information (username) needs to have the @sky.com bit - I've been caught out with that before, easily done and easily fixed

re: Sky Email and Outlook 2007

don't have to chose encryption with outlook 2007, just the outgoing...

and the OPs first post says he has the @sky.com there...

try removing the account and entering it again from scratch...sometimes helps...

re: Sky Email and Outlook 2007

Have set SSL for outgoing only. Have deleted account twice and redone no luck. Have definately used the @sky.com.
