| 114303 | 2003-01-16 01:30:00 | Have just received this from a friend. Using Windows ME Have the following pop up. Logon - pop3.wave.co.nz Please enter your user name and password for the following server. Logon Server: localhost User Name: User name is here/pop3.wave.co.nz Password: xxxxxxxx She types in the password but the pop up continues I've suggested she check out OE/accounts and make sure her password in remembered but nothing seems to work. I just know this is a simple thing to fix so any help would be appreciated |

| 114304 | 2003-01-16 01:33:00 | I think this has something to do with Norton Antivirus. Turn off mail scanning, then turn it back on and see if it makes any difference. | antmannz (28) | ||
| 114305 | 2003-01-16 01:37:00 | Question: Does your friend own the server wave.co.nz and was she trying to access her own emails from the server? - I ask this, because the server is "localhost" which means that the computer is locally hosting it. Also, I would tell her just to use her username, and not username/pop3.wave.co.nz as the login name - however as I keep getting Error 403's in Internet Explorer when I try to access wave's support I do not know what settings Wave uses - bugger huh?

Yes e-mail was trying to be accessed. The way it is set up seems to Does your friend own the server wave.co.nz Do you mean does she own wave.co.nz then no she doesn't localhost" which means that the computer is locally hosting it. It's always been "localhost" |

| 114308 | 2003-01-16 01:53:00 | Her Anti- virus scan incoming mail has failed. With OE open Click on Tools/Accounts Click on the Mail tab Click on Properties on the right Click on Servers at the top. In the incoming server address, delete localhost, Type in: pop3.wave.co.nz In Account name field remove the /pop3.wave.co.nz, should just be username only. Click Apply and OK Send/receive and she will get her mail. For the Anivirus to scan incoming mail it has to change the incoming server address to localhost and it will do this again with a computer restart. If mail keeps failing, disable scan incoming mail in anti-virus and change the server settings as above. |

| 114309 | 2003-01-16 01:54:00 | If Norton AV isn't being used, change the OE mail settings to; Server: pop.wave.co.nz Username: <the persons username> Password: <leave this as it is> |
