Guest idavid Posted January 4, 2005 Report Posted January 4, 2005 hi. have been fiddling with my email in pocket outlook. i can get my gmail to work fine, but cant get my orange.net mail to work at all! can anyone tell me the right settings? currently they look like this: email address: ******* your name: ***** nothing inparticular, just who you want to be... user name: different to your email address. password: ******* account type: pop3 name: orange.net (or whatever) incoming mail: pop.orange.net outgoing mail: smtp.orange.net domain: ???? (hey?) options: i dunno not even used that tag... any help appreciated. :)
Guest mcwarre Posted January 4, 2005 Report Posted January 4, 2005 That is correct. When you set it up for the first time it will say connecting for 6-7 minutes before anything happens (dunno why). When it has completed its first send receive it will work normally. Give it a go....
Guest idavid Posted January 4, 2005 Report Posted January 4, 2005 maybe i was just being impatient...
Guest mcwarre Posted January 4, 2005 Report Posted January 4, 2005 Don't worry I was as well :) Let us know how you get on.....
Guest idavid Posted January 4, 2005 Report Posted January 4, 2005 yeah. tried it again, once through passthrough and after that its working perfectly. ta muchly.
Guest Blakey Posted January 13, 2005 Report Posted January 13, 2005 How do I find out what my "username" is then, if it's different to my email address? Assuming "[email protected]" is my email address, I assumed "fred.bloggs" would be my username? Help! Blakey
Guest Disco Stu Posted January 13, 2005 Report Posted January 13, 2005 Not necessarily. You would have chosen it when you set up your Orange email account. They would have sent you a letter to confirm it. It gets even funnier when you try to access your Orange account from a PC and they don't even use usernames any more :roll:
Guest Blakey Posted January 13, 2005 Report Posted January 13, 2005 Exactly!! I've just spent ages trying to figure out what it is by looking at their site! It's not there! :-( Stupid system. Blakey
Guest idavid Posted January 13, 2005 Report Posted January 13, 2005 it is really bad. has anyone ever managed to send mail from outlook thru orange? i have never been able to make that work!
