1277586 2012-05-27 01:03:00 Yahoo / Xtra have had quite a few issues with email over the last couple of weeks (though if that is the case today is pure conjecture / guessing on my behalf).
I seem to remember you have to use some sort of non standard port? Did the helpdesk take you through that?

1277587 2012-05-27 01:52:00 Hey this was the port settings

Incoming Mail Server: pop3.xtra.co.nz
Uses SSL
Port: 995
Username: Your email address without @xtra.co.nz
(e.g. joe.bloggs@xtra.co.nz becomes joe.bloggs)

Outgoing mail server: send.xtra.co.nz
Uses SSL
Port: 465
Outgoing server requires authenticatio

1277588 2012-05-27 02:03:00 Pretty sure those were the settings but will check the port setting when I go around there in the next day or so, in the mean time I showed him how to read his emails via the xtra web site. so that's fine.:clap:clap Arnie (6624)
1277589 2012-05-30 23:37:00 Yeah I had a customer I was supporting who their whole company was down for Email cause of the blacklisting of Yahoo sending servers, and webmail came to the fix for them as well.

I still am completely confused as to the why of the use of nonstandard ports though - that must be costing Telecom like another 10-20% more helpdesk load, (absolute top of head guess) cause people just set it up themselves, and it would fail.
