gwgqdmbf Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 The most important thing I do with my few domains is email. I am hoping to change to TCH since my last hoster drove me crazy, so I've bought a month of hosting to try things out. All I need to do is establish a few mailboxes, and pop from them. Pretty simple. I have created the boxes. I can access them with webmail. I can send mail to them. Woo hoo! But I can't pop from them. I CAN pop from my "Main Account" mailbox, but that doesn't get to my submailboxes. In an ideal world, I would like to pop from them individually, but I guess if I could dump them all into my main box and it actually worked, I'll just grumble for another year or two before I find an actually working solution. This hardly seems like brain surgery, but I have to admit I only barely know enough to ask meaningful questions... Sorry about my confusion. Anyway, I've tried setting and resetting my individual mailbox passwords. I've tried entering by main account password when I try to pop my submailboxes. Nothing gives, it apparently just doesn't accept the password: it fails once (based on the previously entered pw) and after it asks for the password it just returns to idle, without telling me it failed a second time. I'm using Mozilla Thunderbird. Thanks for any help. Warmly, Keith Quote
TCH-Andy Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 you should be able to POP on all accounts - using your full email address as the username (not just the first part) and that email addresses password. All the other settings are as for the main account. Quote

(on second thought, that would probably only encumber you with my debt). I'm going to leave you out of my will! Anyway, thanks a lot. Problem solved. Woo hoo. keith Quote
TCH-Andy Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 You're welcome I think we have all made the mistake of not using the full email address I'm glad it's all working for you Quote
