| 637972 | 2008-02-07 03:13:00 | Not really on topic, but I have had problems with Orcon Mail for a few months, both at home and at work, on 3 different addresses. Every now and then the "please enter your username and password" box would come up...just click OK and it normally would download your mail the second time, a bit annoying though. I called Orcon a few times about it but they just shrugged their shoulders and had no solution. Anyone else experienced this? Increasing the timeouts to 2min+ seems to fix it...but the point is I shouldn't have to do that! ;) |

I called Orcon a few times about it but they just shrugged their shoulders and had no solution. Anyone else experienced this? Yes, that has been a real annoyance on and off for a couple of years on both Orcon and Freenet. Re the present problem, I have sent an email to Freenet but I'm not holding my breath for an answer any time this side of Christmas, and I just had a long conversation with a helpful lady at Xtra (call answered immediately) who takes the position that if I am using Xtra broadband to access a pop3 mail server of another company then any access problems are their issues, not Xtra's. There is an element of inescapable logic there, but I pointed out that by all accounts Orcon, Ihug and Freenet were all coincidentally having exactly the same problem for Xtra users but that didn't fly. I guess I'll have to wait and see what transpires over the next few days. BTW, where did you go to increase the timeouts? Cheers Billy 8-{) :confused: :confused: |

| 637974 | 2008-02-07 03:42:00 | BTW, where did you go to increase the timeouts? It differs from client to client. I use Outlook, and if you open up the mail account settings, click on more settings and go to the advanced tab its there. It's pretty similar for other mail clients, have a look around. |

| 637975 | 2008-02-07 04:08:00 | Ihug was down this morning here in Nelson too but is working fine now. Both pop3 and webmail were down but outlook was still able to download my gmail. | gary67 (56) | ||
| 637976 | 2008-02-07 04:16:00 | Yup, because gmail doesnt go thru your ISP. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 637977 | 2008-02-07 07:28:00 | All my Orcon emails have now come in through Eudora. :cool: And for the record, I have very rarely had any problems with receiving and sending through my Orcon accounts over the years. |
