Post by: David on Jul 25, 2009, 14:07:37
I have changed EMail and using 1&1 is there any way to either get these two to work together or do I have lose the windows mail server  :dunno:

Can I for instance share the contacts or foward the existing mail in my old box ?

As long as you know the server details then you add your new email address to your mail client

Post by: David on Jul 25, 2009, 14:32:39
I have always used outlook.

I have downloaded Thunderbird but its not active I thought I would lose outlook as my isp is not providing EMail service atm but I may upgrade

So where the oulook is set up for IDNet who would I set it up for to send mail ?

Don't forget to use authenticated SMTP, David, port 587, auth.smtp.1and1.co.uk.

Thanks for that, Rik, I hadn't realised I needed to change the port, I've still been using port 25, changed now though.  :thumb:

Im nearly there Glenn have done all that is on the sheet and ensured the correct port (Rik) just checking to see I havnt made any errors then I assume mail will go to my new address and I can reply from there,if I understand this correctly  :blush:

One point I am left with looking at it all set up,the account idnet.com is still on the list and above it is the 000000 account but the default is still idnet do I change this to the 00000?

Talking of which, my Ocado delivery isn't coming, because I must have got distracted, and didn't complete the order.  That means, I've now got to go out and mix with other people at Sainsbury's.  :ack:  Wish me luck!  :bawl:

Title: Re: EMail question
Post by: Simon on Jul 25, 2009, 17:19:40
I haven't been there for at least two years, and the last time, I left a full trolley in the middle of the store, rather than have to queue at the checkout.  ;D

I wish mine did, David.  It's the same now as ever.  They seem to have a policy of making customers queue at the checkouts, only half of which are open.  I have actually witnessed checkouts being closed while customers approach, forcing them to queue at another.  They obviously just want to maximise profits by only using a bare minimum of staff.   :mad:

Post by: Glenn on Jul 25, 2009, 18:48:15
Tesco at Sandhurst has 50 checkouts + about 8 self service checkouts, but there are always queues there, that's why I use Morrisons.

Post by: David on Jul 25, 2009, 18:49:08
That surprises me only if I compare them ......mine is a joy to shop there  :dunno:
Title: Re: EMail question
Post by: David on Jul 25, 2009, 18:51:29
No Morrisons here,nor Lidl if thats how they spell their name.

Tesco....massive branch
Asda.......sometimes

We have everyone here, within a five minute drive, except for Asda which takes 10. It does make for healthy competition...
