Hello again,

This is what I have done in the past, but I will try again.

The address is: pop3.blueyonder.co.uk
smtp.blueyonder.co.uk.

Someone did suggest removing the figure 3. Will tinker a bit and get back if no good.

Thx

I just found the following at the MaiWasher FAQ. Is it possible that you imported your account settings, or did you input them manually?:

Q. I'm having problems with MailWasher connecting to the internet, what can I do?
A. Error: Could not connect to the internet, or DNS failed.

1. Go to the control panel, click on 'Internet options' and then go to the 'connections' tab and make sure 'Always dial my default connection' is selected.

2. The latest versions of Nortons antivirus add in a 'nortons reference' to the POP account settings. It will look like this - 'pop3.norton.antivirus'. Remove the norton references from the account info and just use your normal POP connection info. You won't need the nortons reference anyway as it doesn't make any difference as MailWasher only checks messages on the server in text mode - viruses and scripts can't run then. Nortons will catch anything when you download the email anyway.

3. Make sure you can receive POP3 emails. There are other Internet connection protocols available but which MailWasher does not support at present, although POP3 is by far the most common.

maybe that is what is happening, the account info is being changed with the import. Of course, I could be totally off base!!

Thanks RandyG for the info. I did what you suggested earlier. Went back and filled in the server name, etc. (while using Netscap 7 - it would not work with IE6!!). Everything OK now and the program working well.

Best wishes,
Bye,

cool beans. Twas probably just a type. I don't know what IE or netscape have to do with MailWasher checking mails though?

Just an update!

Mailwasher working. It was strange about it not doing so before, but it's performing all right now. Am off to look into its settings, etc.
