@maxine: as Somebody says disable Secure Password Authentication

@Somebody: I assume you can now send & receive emails via outlook

Ratti3 and Somebody,

Thanks to both of you I can now send & receive emails via outlook express.

The info on here is excellent!

[Somebody]

@Ratti3: Yes, I can send and receive emails using OE.

General info - Ever since closing Windows Messenger Live, the router has been rock solid.

Have setup the email account in outlook express - I have managed to send an email via outlook but dont seem to be receiving (have sent a test message myself and also have been emailed from other sites when changing email address)

any advice greatly appreciated

I, like others, am awaiting the connection to Sky BB which is due on 20 Sept. This will be the third date I have been given. I hope it is third time lucky. Meanwhile, I have been concerned about the e-mail situation. I use Outlook Express and have been heartened by the tutorials on this site, I am a bit of an idiot but the instructions seem clear enough and I want to say a big "Thank You" to the guy who put them together.

Supraman, Tom: no probs, glad to have helped

herescuckoo: are you using POP.sky.com for incoming? are you getting errors
