Could it be a firewall problem, since you have verified that your Email POP account was set up properly?

I found with my email server they specified particular ports for each , POP and SMTP, and theyare each different, and each is not the default that would have been applied had I not changed them. So even though both are whatever.com, maybe double check the required ports (if not default) ?
Seems your partner has done that, so John's question is a good one. Firewall? -------------------- patiently patrolling, plenty of persisant pests n' problems ...

QUOTE how do i check that and fix it ? The answer to that depends on what firewall you have installed, and what operating system you are running. Windows XP has its own (not highly regarded) firewall, or you could have ZoneAlarm, Sygate, Kerio to name a few. It could also be part of your Anti-virus program - which one are you running? Find out what firewall you have and let us know, then someone can help you locate the settings which may be causing your problem. -------------------- Soltek QBIC, Pentium 4 3.0GHz, 512MB RAM, 200GB SATA HDD, ATI Radeon 9600XT 256MB, Netgear 54Mb/s WAP, ridiculously expensive Satellite Broadband Windows XP Home SP2, Trend Micro Internet Security, Firefox, Thunderbird, AdAwareSE, Spybot S&D, SpywareBlaster, A-squared Free, Ewido Security Suite. |

I don't know if the windows firewall has any configuration details 'cause I turned mine off five minutes after I got the PC.
Check your Noton AV to see if it includes a firewall now, (Norton Internet Security definitely does) If so turn off your Windows firewall and forget about it. If Norton AV does not have a firewall I'd turn off the windows firewall briefly so you can send yourself a test email, then turn it on again. If the email is sent and recieved properly then we can look into modifying or replacing the Windows firewall. -------------------- Soltek QBIC, Pentium 4 3.0GHz, 512MB RAM, 200GB SATA HDD, ATI Radeon 9600XT 256MB, Netgear 54Mb/s WAP, ridiculously expensive Satellite Broadband Windows XP Home SP2, Trend Micro Internet Security, Firefox, Thunderbird, AdAwareSE, Spybot S&D, SpywareBlaster, A-squared Free, Ewido Security Suite. |
