Mail issues

[Tacitus]

What happens if you turn it on?

The server error: The POP server "pop3.idnet.com" doesn't support TLS (SSL) on port 110.

Its set to MD5, but does it use MD5 on a different port?

Anyhow the settings shouldn't have changed....

[Rik]

Try port 25.

[Tacitus]

Try port 25.

Now it says "This account (iDNet) appears to be offline due to a network problem"

[Rik]

Sorry, 25 is the SMTP port (I knew I was tired...). 110 should be the POP port. If that won't work for you and no other Mac users have any ideas, give IDNet a call on 01462 476556.

Hmmm!!!  Someone has been messing with the 'hidden' options and set one of them to use MD5 authentication.  Since she's just cooked lunch and there's a bottle or two of red, I guess I shall just have to smile    (Through clenched teeth!)

Thanks for the help Rik - at least I can leave Simon in peace!

[Rik]

Glad you go there, Tac, enjoy lunch.

Are the Spam filters on or off?  Not that it should make any difference..

There's basic spam filtering now in operation, the full package will, no doubt, be back tomorrow.

Hi Pez, I use Thunderbird and what you do is:

Click on "Tools" - "Account settings" - "Server Settings" and then tick "Leave Messages on Server" box + any option you require. Hope this helps.

Just what I was going to say.  Sorry we didn't get round to it sooner, but

If I forward mail from @idnet.com to my other email host can I leave a copy on the idnet server? I did think about forwarding to myself@idnet.com as a second address.

[Rik]

IIRC, you could forward it and then move it to a folder, or simply forward to multiple addresses. The forum's team@ address forwards to each staff member.

[Steve]

I will try multiple address's first , although I am not sure if mail forwarding is working at present?

[Simon]

But once it's forwarded, it leaves the original mail box, if I understand it correctly, so no, a copy would not be saved when mail is forwarded.

[Rik]

Unless you move it to the box and then forward...

It is, Steve, at least for me.

[Simon]

[Rik]

Multiple forwarding is easier.

[Stu]

Will we loose the emails that were in the inbox before? I have none left.

[Lance]

They will hopefully be recovered tomorrow, or at least over the next few days.

[Sebby]

Indeed. The way I understand it is they are waiting (and hoping) that Trevor will recover so that no mail that was already in the mailboxes will be lost. Failing that, the last backup will be restored, but inevitably there will be some mail missing from between the time the backup was made and the server failure.

[Steve]

I have been unable to setup a mail forward today  from mail to me @idnet.com forward to me@mydomain, Support have confirmed that this service has not been restored yet but hopefully should be working tomorrow.

[Rik]

I've just been told it is working, Steve, but not for IDNetters addresses (ie forum ones). There seems to be a little confusion...

[Steve]

Hi Steve

As a knock-on effect of the mail outages last week mail forwarding hasn't been restored yet.
We're working toward a full restoration and I would anticipate this will be complete by tomorrow

Kind Regards

Andrew - IDNet Support.

I'm seeking clarification - back shortly...
