Help, have tried the above settings but keeps failing to reach my email account.

the first box gives a choice off : pop3 / imap / http - choose pop3

second box " incomming mail ( pop3 , impa or http ) server " put in smtp.dsl.pipex.com like you advised.

third box " outgoing mail ( smtp ) server put in "pop.dsl.pipex.com"

what am I doing wrong ??!! any ideas ??

cheers,
john

is your username and password correct?
can you ping both of these servers?

Yep mate username and password okay,

will keep on trying !!!

go to dos/cmd prompt.
type "ping pop.dsl.pipex.com" and "ping smtp.dsl.pipex.com"
should get a reply from both.

got any firewall software stopping your email program.
