1339455 2013-05-03 00:00:00 Windows Live Mail does not work because when I set it up I entered the mail address as "pop.xtra.co.nz" ,of course
it should have been "pop3.xtra.co.nz" . That figure three makes all the difference.

Anyway... I have tried and tried to remove the pop.xtra.co.nz and replace it with, pop3.xtra.co.nz but nothing changes.

How do I remove the faulty URL, so I can enter the correct one ?

1339456 2013-05-03 00:04:00 I dont have pop3 on mine and they work...........i have pop.gmail.com no number 3 at all...... does it come up with a error when it tries to send /receive?

i just reread what you post...and realised i miss read what you said......... how i have done this in the past is deleted that specific email and re done the whole thing. its an option......

Different mail providers use different servers ;)

Haven't got access to Windows Live Mail, but if you can get into Account settings, you should be able to edit the servers rather than delete and replace.

1339458 2013-05-03 00:15:00 I use WLM and have had lots of issues mostly user related, still dont particularly like it, but its working, and found that it was easier to scrap the faulty email addy and begin a new one and make sure it was all fine before setting it up the next time...... i learnt from my mistakes and was greatful for people who gave me help and their patience on pf1
and it now works........:)

1339459 2013-05-03 00:25:00 go into accounts, properties and change email addy or servers .



i deleted mine because i had IMAP / POP problems this seems an easier fix . :)
