leezard Posted April 23, 2003 Posted April 23, 2003 I have about 6 different e-mail address set up for my site and for some reason if i check them with outlook they work perfectly but if i use OE they wont connect to the mail server. I used to work support at an isp so i have been over OE backwards and forwards, deleting and recreating the accounts to no avail. Anyone got any ideas in case i missed something? Quote
TCH-JimE Posted April 23, 2003 Posted April 23, 2003 Hi, Run me through your OE settings, obviously, dont put the password up!, Either that or drop a help ticket with the details in and I will have a look for you Jim Quote
leezard Posted April 23, 2003 Author Posted April 23, 2003 NM...i feel stupid now, even tho it doesnt make sense. I tryed a different isp and it works, so its because dns hasnt resolved on the other isp, altho it doesnt make sense that outlook would work on the other isp?? Quote
TCH-JimE Posted April 23, 2003 Posted April 23, 2003 Hi, I have to admit that does sound bizarre but I am glad it works. Jim P.S. Silly question, you havent got capitals at the start of the addresses? I had the same issue till i removed the capitals Quote
leezard Posted April 23, 2003 Author Posted April 23, 2003 nope, no caps...working dial up support as long as i did thats one of the 1st thing i asked ppl..."do you have any caps in your username or password?" Quote
MoonFaery Posted April 23, 2003 Posted April 23, 2003 Mine was acting weird too. Wouldn't let me do anything if I set it up and it kept refusing my sign in stuff, but if I clicked for my cpanel to auto set up oe, it worked even though it didn't change anything I put in Weird if ya ask me Quote
KevinW Posted April 23, 2003 Posted April 23, 2003 BTW, TCH does have some detail instructions (click here) for setting up Outlook/OE on the TCH Help Web Site. We also have a movie tutorial on setting up Outlook Express (click here) on the TCH Help Web site as well. HTH! kw Quote
matman Posted April 24, 2003 Posted April 24, 2003 When I switched over, I just put the IP address in the server settings instead of the domain name. That way I could login and get my e-mails from whatever other domains already knew where I was, even if my own ISP hadn't gotten wind of the change yet. Quote
MoonFaery Posted April 24, 2003 Posted April 24, 2003 Weird thing is that didn't work for me either kweilbacher. I even asked for help through live chat. Like I said, it didn't work until I went and had my cpanel auto set it up(Outlook Express AutoConfig) Quote
