Read this email that I recently got from Sky, when they decided to respond after submitting my question some 10 days earlier ! (they must be suffering cutbacks like most in these recessionary times

Sorry for the delay in replying to your message.

There is no need for you to change these settings back.

Google are the company that handle our mail servers and if it is working there is no need to worry.

Original Message Follows: ------------------------

Thankyou for your email and call of 10/3/09, in response to my complaint dated 25/2/09.

I have been on holiday in Cuba for 10 days, so not much opportunity to pick up messages.

However, to get my Outlook Express email working again, on 26/2/09 I changed my Outlook server settings from pop.tools.sky.com to pop.googlemail.com (for incoming mail), and from smtp.tools.sky.com to smtp.googlemail.com (for outgoing mail).

So my only question now is: "do I leave the settings as they are, or change them back?"
I look forward to your early response.
