Babs, I don't have Vista, but on XP & on win98 to turn things off on the start menu you go Start > Run and type in MSConfig. I am assuming it will be the same with Vista.

Sorry can't help with Incredimail.

Morning Clare its Utility warehouse and all they sent was book with the router and another with the modem, been on there site and you can send e-mail hehe (carnt) or phone them if any problems , so looks like I will have to do that ;;
I have set up new e-mail accounts easy enough but always though there was a place you could look on your computer to find out your server addys and addys for e-mail, thats what I was looking for ???

[littlemoo]

I found the following :-

ISP Name
The Utility Warehouse

Country
UK

POP3 Server
(Incoming Mail Server)
pop3.go-plus.net

SMTP Server
(Outgoing Mail Server)
smtp.go-plus.net

News Server
newsgroups.go-plus.net

Found the information on the website :-
AnswersThatWork's famous ISP List - TheUtilityWarehouse Incoming Mail POP3 server and Outgoing Mail SMTP server, and DNS settings (http://www.answersthatwork.com/ISP_pages/isp_theutilitywarehouse.htm)

I am a computer geek who used to work on an ISP helpdesk :)

I know smtp.go-plus.net is working ok as I can connect to it.

Do you collect mail from another ISP using Outook ?

Can you do a screenshot of your mail settings in Outlook and paste
them here ?

Clare

[borobabs]

Thanks Clare, screenshot oh dear have forgot how to do them , (age thing I think )
but something I did yesterday with your setting seems to be working, as after been off line all last night and this morning through some power surge or something, I have had e-mail in incredimal from both addys , so once again thank you very much ,,,,it seems to have worked ...

[littlemoo]
