Outlook problem

[zidane]

I can send e-mails from outlook but can't receive.

They are coming into the Sky mail based in web browser but not into outlook.

I'm using pop.sky.com and smtp.sky.com have enabled pop in the sky mail in the 'mail settings.

Any ideas?

Wrong servers, those are being switched off next week, you need to be on the new servers with SSL enabled on the correct ports.

I'm getting this now........

The message could not be sent because the server rejected the sender's e-mail address. The sender's e-mail address was 'XXXXXXX@sky.com'. Subject 'test', Account: 'pop.tools.sky.com', Server: 'smtp.tools.sky.com', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first 25sm389919ugn.23', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 530, Error Number: 0x800CCC78

AND, you need all updates for outlook...
