NTL World email on SPV c500 not connecting most of the time

[Guest matpj]

I have set up my ntlworld email on my c500.

When i first did it, it downloaded the new messages.

Next time I treid to send/receive I got an error: "Unable to connect. verify your dial-up or proxy settings are correct and try again"

then it worked this morning, and now its doing the same thing.

has anyone encountered a similar problem?

thanks,

Matt

I have gmail, two of my own domains (with different ISPs) Orange email and I did have Hotmail set up.

I sometimes get this error with Orange email but never with any of the others!

Strange but true. I don't use my orange email much so i just keep retrying and eventually it connects, all the other accounts connect first time, every time (when I have reception obviously).

Not a lot of help to you, I know but I thought I'd share my experience.

It could be a problem with the ntl mail servers, for as confucious mentioned he has a similar problem with some of his mail accounts and not all of them... something you should bear in mind.

I have NTL World on my C500 and it connects every time with no problems. This might be a silly question but are you using the NTL smtp server or the orange one?
