problem with alternate e mail address microsoft outlook 2003

[amyyria]

could somebody help me out, up until a few days ago i was running my breath.com e mail address both in and out via the sky system using outlook express 2003 with no problems, along with my sky e mail address, the reason i am doing this is ive had it for some time, and its not worth telling everyone, however in the last day or so i have developed a problem i connect alright to the outgoing server, but the incoming server will not connect, i get a message come up tring to connect to pop3 hmimap2.uk1.bibliotech.net, i cannot get it to work, does anyone know if the pop settings have been changed in anyway

The breathe POP servers (run by spider networks) have been down since yesterday. No news from either party as to what is happening yet. You can still access the email accounts via WEBMAIL.

At last Breath have posted some information re the loss of POP3 Email! I paste it here to save you logging into your account:-

"Email System
Dear Users

Unfortunately our email platform have informed us they need to complete maintenance on the email servers over the Christmas period.

Email may be unavailable via POP3 (email client) but available via webmail.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

So what a surprise! Maintenance that no-one (least of all Breathe!) knew of! No planning - no communication - no hope Breathe? What a useless shower!
So keep using the Webmail for the next few days (how long does the Christmas period last?)
Happy Christmas!!

And you thought SKY were bad
