Sky E-Mail - Problem with receiving mail
      #365247 - Sat Sep 15 2007 02:49 PM

Hello,

I have just changed to Sky and have set up my new accounts in Windows Mail (Vista).

I can send mail ok but am not able to receive?

Can anyone help me with this please?

Thanks

Tia

Hi, I've had the same problem since the sky / google changeover: before it was fine.

I can receive OK using Outlook 2003, but cannot send. I've made all the POP / SMTP changes recommended by sky and spent over an hour on the phone to the sky help desk on several sessions: they don't seem to even want to recognise the problem.

Did you find an answer or does anyone know how to fix this....?

Hi Bob,

I have tried to get Sky to help with this but they are not interested. They basically tell me that I will have to go onto Sky e-mail to receive!!

As yet, have not resolved.

My thanks to skampydog. The site was extremely useful - how come the Sky help line don't read it?

Whether by design or accident I fixed my problem (after weeks of trying) by downloading microsoft service pack 3 for Office 2003. All now works fine, but nowhere have I read this is a requirement nor has it ever been mentioned by Sky.

I guess my problem was slightly different to Tiatadi's in that I already had a sky email address.

Thanks again to both. Bob.

have you made sure that the pop settings is pop.tools.sky.com and the smtp is smtp.tools.sky.com. i work for sky and i hope this helps you in the query. let me know if this does help! if not i can think of a few other things to see what the problem is
