I've had probs with my btinternet mail over the last week.. kept getting a POP3, no address found error Everything else worked ok.. just couldn't get into my BT account. I tried resetting the router and got in once. Second time, the reset didn't work so I tried looking online. Couldn't remember my bt account password and clicking on the bt page to retrieve it brought up a page not found error.. hardly surprising as I couldn't get at my mail Even tried changing the POP3/SMTP address from openworld to btinternet and that worked ONCE! Been ok the last couple of days but it's odd because I've not had a problem in all the years I've been with them
this is the error message i get in windows live mail when i try to sync messages

My I phone is still working with my e mail configured same as i did it 2 years ago and that sees my website too
That's pretty much the error I was getting both through MailwasherPro and from OE itself. I'm still on WinXP SP3 here and I honestly don't know if the port numbers have changed with the newer OS's but I'm on SMTP/Out.. 25 and in 110. BT are getting rid of the BTYahoo mail and explorer sometime now which I thought might be a reason they were farting around. I don't use either so it's never been and won't be a problem for me. Losing my main bt mail WOULD be a problem but as I say.. it's been stable the last couple of days. Not so last week mind you
Oh, quickly.. I use OE.. don't think I said that. Port settings might be different for Outlook or whatever it's now called and on a different OS.
