reinhartbuit,

I found this on the Help:FAQs page:

Quote:
How do I set up POP3 using www.Webmail.co.za?

The POP3 mail settings for setting up your mail client to download mail straight to your PC are:

Incoming mail server: mail.Webmail.co.za
(Please note if your mail domain is mailbox or starmail etc. the mail server name is mail.mailbox.co.za or mail.starmail.co.za)

Outgoing mail server (SMTP): Your ISP
(This is the name of the server with which you connect to the web eg Netactive, Mweb or iAfrica etc. If you do not know either the name or IP address, contact them and ask them to give you this info)

Your account name: username@webmail.co.za and password are the same as the ones that you use with Webmail to log into your account.

(This is the name of the server with which you connect to the web eg Netactive, Mweb or iAfrica etc. If you do not know either the name or IP address, contact them and ask them to give you this info)"

As the note indicates, you should get the SMTP server name from your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

It appears that www.webmail.co.za provides email service but is not an ISP.

How do you connect to the internet (Dial-up, DSL, Cable, Satellite) and who provides the service?

I've found three different SMTP server names referring to Telkom or TelkomSA:

smtp.dsl.telkomsa.net
smtp.telkomsa.net
smtp.telkom.net

Try each to see if any work. If not you will need to contact Telkom's technical support department directly for the correct SMTP server name.

I found the link below for Telkom SA Limited - Internet Services, although I do not know if this is your provider.
