frexpt Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Just wondering whether anyone else was having a problem receiving emails to MS Outlook today? Neither my PC nor my wife's laptop will receive, although they appear to be sending.Our Orange internet connection is fine and we can access our emails directly on the server (1&1.co.uk), but they won't download to Outlook.I have rung 1&1 and they say no problem at their end. I'm wondering whether Orange have made some dastardly alteration and blocking a port (or whatever they do).Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judith Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Interestingly, I am using the same in Mac (Entourage) which will not load, and as far as I know I've changed nothing. I can get onto the email via the internet, which I hate, but then again, some sites won't load, though this has, so maybe you are not alone ..... isn't it weird!

frexpt Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 I've just started Outlook in safe mode and it has downloaded the messages from the server. Not sure why, but I'll read on and report back. If anybody more knowledgeable can guide me in from here, that would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frexpt Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 Yes, you're right, the safe mode start was just a coincidence. My wife's laptop in normal mode just beeped the arrival of the new messages........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judith Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 As Alice was known to say: curiouser and curiouser!Anyhow, it seems to have stayed working so let us cross fingers and hope that whatever someone did, it will stay working tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
