OmicronLab Posted August 26, 2003 Posted August 26, 2003 Hello, My ISP suddenly started to block all net access those aren't going through their proxy server. Mad!!! I have set up my browser, but now I am unable to check mail from my domain. I have more than 15 pop3 accounts so it is not possible for me to check all the mails through web mail. Does anybody know how to check mail from a pop3 server through proxy? Or is there any program that can check multiple webmail using Neomail, Horde etc (like ePrompter) Thanx. Quote
TCH-Andy Posted August 26, 2003 Posted August 26, 2003 Hi, If your ISP blocks the port, then unless you can persuade them to change, you will not be able to get POP3. There is no way round that. You can possibly set up forwards on all the email acounts to one - which you can then check using a webmail package. If you want to keep the accounts seperate, you can set up multiple email accounts on your Total Choice account, and then access them all at the same time through webmail if you use your cpanel username / password.

OmicronLab Posted August 26, 2003 Author Posted August 26, 2003 No Andy, I don't think that the ISP is blocking port for checkinh mail from pop3 server. When checking mail, I get these texts in the statusbar of outlook : Connecting....Connected. Authorizing.... Authorized. Receiving list of messages from server Stop responding Mad!!! The same situation occur when I try to browse web without using proxy, the browser connects to the site, sends request but doesn't get anything. I tried to use Mozilla Thunderbird 0.1 to check my mail. It supports http proxy for checking mail, but didn't get any good result. Currently I am using www.mail2web.com. But it doesn't support downloading mail from server. My problem is, downloading mail, not checking it. Any help? Mehdi Quote
borfast Posted August 26, 2003 Posted August 26, 2003 So your ISP is blocking traffic that doesn't pass through their proxy servers... I hate when they do that Mad!!! Anyway, perhaps you haven't configured your mail client properly. Usually, a POP3 proxy server is not the same than the HTTP proxy server. Are you sure this isn't the case with your ISP? Call your ISP and ask them how to configure your mail client to use their POP3 proxy server. I'm sure they'll help you out. Quote
