Veag and Sky Email

[Guest Patrick King]

I am a very new owner of an Advent Vega - I finally managed to track one down in a PC World yesterday

I like it a great deal but am having difficulty in getting ti to allow my Sky email account to load

I get as far as registering the information for the outgoing files and then get a message saying that it will not allow tghe server as the certificate isnt recognised.

I have tried searching for a solution to no avail

I cannot surely be the only Vega owner with a Sky email account

Looking for your help

I have put my Sky accoutn details into the Gmail app, and it works with no problems at all.

Which email app are you using, or are you simply going on to your MySky page?

There's also the server names you are using. If you are using the email app, and not using the server as imap.tools.sky.com or pop(3).tools.sky.com and smtp.tools.sky.com it may not work. They changed the cert to only use the addition of "TOOLS" in the server names.

On another note, depending on the mail app being used, you might want to set the security type to SSL (accept all certificates). That could sort it.

As both incoming and outgoing require SSL, it will automatically change the port numbers to the correct ones for you. 465 (outgoing SMTP) and 993 (incoming IMAP) ring a bell for me, but depends of course on whether you're using IMAP or POP3 protocols.
