| 1423004 | 2016-07-13 02:28:00 | I am trying to set up Outlook 2010 on my laptop (I am successfully setup on my desktop), and have got myself in a right fankle (a Scots word meaning: a tangle; confusion. Very descriptive...). I need some help from my mates on line to sort this out. Oh dear! Is it POP3 or IMAP? When it asks for User Name - is that my email addy? Or just the bit before 'xtra.co.nz'? I checked the password with MailPV - So that should be right! I ticked 'Require logon using Secure Password Authentication (SPA) - then when I tested the Account Settings - well, it failed. That's as far as I've got so far. :( |

| 1423005 | 2016-07-13 03:00:00 | I would suggest you read from the link below, also scroll down to where it discusses Outlook 2010. They are making migration changes to Outlook.com. It may be easier to set your Outlook up with these settings www.howto-outlook.com |

| 1423006 | 2016-07-13 03:05:00 | You can use pop or imap. If you use pop select it type in pop3@yourisp.co.nz or whatever it is Username maybe your login name only without the @isp.co.nz. If you use pop you may not need authenication to log into it Untick the option. The incoming port should be 110 outgoing 25 |

| 1423008 | 2016-07-13 03:21:00 | www.howto-outlook.com That didn't work either. :( |

| 1423009 | 2016-07-13 04:01:00 | try sparks config page.... www.spark.co.nz (seems it has to be POP3 - not imap) (also, according to that spark page, the ports are 995 for Incoming server and 465 for Outgoing server) |

| 1423010 | 2016-07-13 04:39:00 | That last was really useful. However, I didn't mention that I also run Mailwasher Pro on my desktop. After I got Outlook going on my lappy (sent an email - but that wasn't recorded in Outlook on the lappy???) and didn't show on my desktop either, I uninstalled Outlook from my lappy. While it would be nice to have, I can live without it. It is more important that I have good, uncompromised communications from my desktop. All is back to normal on my desktop now. I appologise for wasting your time -you have all been (as always) most helpful. I do rely on you all! :) |

| 1423011 | 2016-07-13 05:29:00 | Spark do have IMAP settings, they just don't go out of their way to advertise the fact and don't support it past giving you the option. Still if you read E-mail on more than one device IMAP works much better in my experience. Settings here www.spark.co.nz Personally I have outlook installed on my desktop and laptop and never use it. I've come to the conclusion that for me webmail in a browser is the best option. I just set the Gmail web page as one of my home pages and added my xtra pop account to it. |

| 1423012 | 2016-07-13 05:38:00 | Yes - I agree. I do do other things within Outlook which makes it useful for me. I set up Groups, the Calendar is particularly useful for me, and I use Tasks for things just 'Sitting there' to remind me of things! I'll have a look at your link. I did wonder if having Mailwasher on my desktop would make a difference? No reason logically, but it crossed my mind as a possible factor. My reason for perhaps having Outlook on my laptop is that I am away for a couple of months and thought that having the backup info could be useful - however, not if it is going to stuff something up! |
