Hi All,
Not sure if this questions should go in here or in the Broadband section but here goes!
I've been with Orange for 10 years, used my original "Freeserve" e-mail account for all tht time, a a result my whole life is run through that e-mail address.
For reasons too tedious to go into I changed Broadband supplier from Orange to Sky. Orange said I can keep using the old "Freeserve" e-mail address.
I use MS Outlook 2007 to manage my e-mails and I use WIndows 7.
The settings Orange gave me allow me to receive e-mails through the POP server (pop.orangehome.co.uk / port 110).
However the Sky outgoing settings do not allow me to send e-mails and when I run a test it times out (pop.tools.sky.com / port 465)
Any ideas?
When I go to Tools/Account Settings/double click the account/More Settings/Outgoing Server tab it has a tick box for "my outgoing erver (SMTP) requires authentication, should this be checked or unchecked?
Really hope you can help as everytime I phone Sky they tell me to do something different, none of which work!
Many thanks,
SF
