123 reg popbox email forwarding query
      #374009 - Thu Nov 29 2007 01:07 PM

I have registerd a domain with 123 and beginning to wonder if this was the right thing to do having read the other posts, anyway i'm stuck with it for the forseeable and yep they haven't responded to my my help question either hence dropping by here.

What it is I am starting a small company up and our immediate aim is to get the email up and running between the two partners. So I have bought a popbox from 123 for the new domain. There is only two of us in the company both working from different locations with differnet ISPs. (virgin & blueyonder)
I have put the pophost details in the email forwarding menu of the 123 control panel for both of us and we have added the new email accounts to our respective outlook programmes with the same username, pop.host and password that 123 gave me and it seems to work ok except for when we send an email to each other it annoyingly comes back to the original sender and we've no idea if the other partner has received the message that was intended for them?
Any ideas?

If you have 2 accounts set up on the same server depending on how the server is set up when you email to the other person who's account is on the same server then the email trys to send from one part of the server to the other instead of taking the conventional route over the internet, I had a similar issue but for me the email just never arrived or got returned so not sure if this is the cause of your problem or not but thought I would throw in my penny's worth in case you are having the same problem.

Anway the fix for me was to get the server configured differently to allow sending to email address on the same server, only your hosts can do this and luckily for me I am with a company that I can skype and they fixed this straight away.

Cheers

Ian
