| 1469174 | 2020-06-01 03:36:00 | I have 2 email accounts, Snap, which is seldom used, mainly because of its pathetically small inbox, and a gmail one which gets the vast majority of the traffic. For a few weeks now, maybe since a Win10 update, I frequently get a message saying: "Your snap account settings are out of date". I rang Snap, and was told that they didn't cause it, but gave me the following information by text: Incoming POP3 Server address: pop.snap.net.nz Incoming IMAP Server address: imap.snap.net.nz Incoming POP3 Port: 995 Incoming IMAP Port: 143 Outgoing Server address: smtp.snap.net.nz Outgoing Server Port: 587 (Apple devices) 465 (all other devices) I have checked and where necessary corrected the server addresses, but don't know how to set the ports. Can anyone help? |

| 1469177 | 2020-06-01 22:16:00 | www.doteasy.com FYI, it looks like Snap email is a ~dead~ product/service . Start planning to move everything off it to gmail . Chances are at some time it will be killed off or simply stop working properly . As has happened to other old NZ email services when the company was sold/bought . help.2degreesmobile.co.nz "and is only supported as a legacy product for ex-Snap customers." |

| 1469179 | 2020-06-25 03:24:00 | Thanks for the advice, I seem to have finally resolved the problem. I got into the account settings, although I use outlook 2010, they where similar enough to find my way. I changed the por4ts to those given by snap, but couldn't even get connected. I clicked on the "use defaults' on the advanced screen, but was told that the encryption was wrong I set the SMTP to TLS encryption and it seems to be OK, or at least I haven't had the annoying error messages since. The port settings that snap gave me were: IMAP 143, SMTP 465. The port settings that I have now are: IMAP 143 no encryption, SMTP 25 TLS encryption. |

| 1469180 | 2020-07-07 22:52:00 | Prior to my previous post, I was getting several error messages a day; after the changes that I quoted I hade one or two over the next day or two, but now I am back to several a day, not as many as earlier, but more than recently. I checked that the setting had not changed, and I got a confirming Microsoft email to say that it was OK. Any comments? | Brucem (8688) | ||
| 1469181 | 2020-07-08 00:04:00 | Any comments? Yes Chances are they wont be putting much effect into keeping this running smoothly long term help.2degreesmobile.co.nz "and is only supported as a legacy product for ex-Snap customers." It looks like its a dead product , more or less . Dont count on it being available long term . |

| 1469183 | 2020-07-12 21:42:00 | if you don't want Google to read all your emails... You know. When I worked at Webdrive I had to sort email accounts occasionally. You think we A)Had time to read them? and B)Cared? Some nong once wanted me to clean his inbox out, he had a stuck email...and about 5000 spams...as well as every other email ever received. Like I'd know which he wanted and which he didn't and had a week to trawl through them.Not. |
