1379667 2014-07-20 05:42:00 I am using Outlook as my e-mail program, with W8.1 and through Orcon. I have discovered now that I am unable to send or receive any e-mails, and cannot find what is causing this, having checked all the settings I can locate.

Any suggestions?

1379668 2014-07-20 05:51:00 Are you using Pop3 gary67 (56)
1379669 2014-07-20 05:56:00 Might help, if you tell us the errors you're getting Speedy Gonzales (78)
1379670 2014-07-20 06:20:00 As far as I know I am using IMAP, as I thought W8 didn't use POP3. I am getting no error messages, even when trying to send from or to the desktop to the laptop, except one when I got the Postmaster 'Unable to deliver" message. Normally we get several e-mails a day, but for the last week have received none. Richard (739)
1379671 2014-07-20 06:32:00 The mail app in Win8 doesnt support pop. OL does work. I'm using pop with Outlook 2013. Did you put this in OL for Imap??

1379672 2014-07-20 06:34:00 The inbuilt mail in W8 cant use pop3, but most email programs can.

Have you tried logging into the web mail to see if there is any mail, this will test the user name and password for being correct as well.

Bottom option has mail settings www.orcon.net.nz

1379674 2014-07-20 10:29:00 Incidentally., Orcon was configured to "SEND" (Not SMTP) On this W8.1. & PoP3 f0r Recive & has worked. However we were getting a lot of Spam so deleted Orcon altogether. PJ Poppa John (284)
