Re: E-mail problem had it before simple answer but forgot lol
This normally indicates that one of your settings is incorrect.
If you are on the new sky/google email system now then you need to make sure ALL you settings are correct.
username: yourusername@sky.com (the @sky.com is now required)
password: yourpassword
POP: pop.tools.sky.com
SMTP: smtp.tools.sky.com
SSL should be ticked - using ports 995 for pop and 465 for SMTP.

After an hour mine is working OK - my problems were with my settings.
Re-read the settings given for setting up pop email and tick the boxes correctly especially the ones regarding server authentication and SSL. Check that your full email address is entered into the box marked Account Name.
This is for OE.

I'm having a simalar problem.
The main account is o.k. in outlook but the additional email addresses I added for the family are asking for the password, I have entered it time after time but with no joy.
