Select your email program in the box first.

Highlight pop3 in E-Mail proxy server list
Click Modify
Type in your E-Mail settings (For Xtra pop3.xtra.co.nz port 110)
Highlight smtp in E-Mail proxy server list
Click modify
Type in your E-Mail settings (For Xtra smtp.xtra.co.nz port 25)

Say a small prayer

check your settings 'cause e.g. clear is pop (not pop3)

Restart computer,

313170 2005-01-26 04:30:00 If you are using outlook express and a dialup connection then you have to choose between scanning outgoing mail and 'hangup after sending and receiving'.
It's the same problem nortons had a couple of years ago, OE sends the mail to AVGEMC for scanning and if there is no incoming mail to download it disconnects the line before avg has completed the scanning process. When it does finish it can't send the mail because the connection has been dropped.
If there is incoming mail to download the line is kept up long enough to receive the incoming mail by which time the outgoing has been scanned and sent. This accounts for some failure and some success.
