| 1374762 | 2014-05-12 00:50:00 | Or just use IMAP. | Alex B (15479) | ||
| 1374763 | 2014-05-12 00:53:00 | POP only doesn't work in the Tiled/metro version on W8. On any other email client that does have it, it will work fine Eg:Windows Live mail, Outlook, thunderbird etc If you have a live mail, Outlook.com, Hotmail, Gmail you can use the tiled mail. |

| 1374764 | 2014-05-12 01:27:00 | This sounds like a bit of a worry. So what happens with Google & Hotmail? Surely MS wouldn't makem things that difficult? yes they would, I take that back!!! Do the ISPs support this IMAP? PJ | Poppa John (284) | ||
| 1374765 | 2014-05-12 01:32:00 | Go for Windows Live Mail or Thunderbird,family member did not like the Mail app so got them to download live mail and is much happier | Lawrence (2987) | ||
| 1374766 | 2014-05-12 01:36:00 | Yes Xtra (Yahoo) support IMAP, so does Gmail and Hotmail. | Alex B (15479) | ||

Do the ISPs support this IMAP? PJ Anything that doesn't support IMAP in 2014 IMO is just a waste. Gmail and Outlook.com (Hotmail) are just fine (I think the latter uses EAS, which is better again). |

| 1374768 | 2014-05-12 04:14:00 | Well if you just put your xtra E-mail address and password into windows 8 it automatically sets itself to imap and it works... Seems Xtra do have imap available but don't support it officially if you look here help.telecom.co.nz Personally I use live mail because I prefer it to the inbuilt app |
