I've had to go down the changing the services route for my mail client to use port 587 instead. I got a connection, but behind the scenes Turnpike sends the userid and password encrypted by default, where daily doesn't want it like this (funnily enough I do have the choice of whether to encrypt my POP3 downloads or not, but daily say to turn this off)
Oh well - time to change client (which I don't want to do really) live with it.
Yeah that's where I got the number from (even though it is the same default alternate you see on the net). The trouble is my email host does not support the encrypted password, and the email client only connects outgoing mail using this method. Interestingly for incoming mail, it gives me the choice of whether I want to encrypt or not
I've emailed my mail host and the vendors of the email client
I am open to suggestions for a combined news/email client
On the email side, I need to be able to shift things into various folders depending on subject, addressee etc. This requires me to be able to set the priority for this filtering as subject filtering has to be checked before the addressee so thins end up in the right folders, if you see what I mean
Has anyone had any problems with email not being received at all? During the last week or two, friends have claimed to have emailed me and nothing has ever turned up.
If something does arrive, it is now frequently delayed - I tested it by getting someone to send a one line email to two different email addresses (one being Orange) and the Orange one took about two hours to arrive.
I've emailed Orange about this but so far no response.
Sound familiar to anyone?
I have had exactly the same problem for a couple of months now - some e-mails just not arriving at all, some taking a few days, but it seems to be random - mail from the same sender sometimes gets through, sometimes doesn't. Orange advised me to check settings, which are fine, and then said they recognised there was a problem with delivery from certain domains and asked me to be patient whil ethey looked at the problem. That's the last I heard, but it means I have a totally unreliable mail system and it is incredibly frustrating. I also notice when travelling that no mail is being delivered to my Orange web-mail account. I sent a mail to Orange about that but have not received a reply. Any suggestions very welcome!
I have been having the same problem and was directed to this thread from my post http://www.orangeproblems.co.u...7750#27750 I am not sure what to do other than ring Orange but they will probably take me up the garden path
I've recently visited a jobs site and applied for 5 separate jobs simultaneously. This should result in the simultaneous receipt of 5 individual confirmation E-mails, one per job. However I've got just the two so far, the first delayed by two minutes, the second by a whole ten, and the others have yet to arrive. Other genuine e-mails are taking similar amounts of time to arrive, with some in my junk folder taking several hours.
I wonder if there's a mis-configured spam filter somewhere which is deliberately delaying messages, and getting it wrong? A spam filter that didn't just mark every single message as spam would be better anyway that the currently hopeless one.
When I went to Orange for a job interview last year, working for the technical support department, I discovered that the E-mail system is still hosted and run by France Telecomm, and that the support office in Leeds has absolutely no control over the system. I'm surprised that it works at all!

I believe all the POP and SMTP servers are based in Paris and Lille.
I had this problem for a few weeks and couldn't work out what was going on. I've since fixed it. I went to the Orange website and logged into my email. The applet in the top left hand corner showed me as having a full mailbox (my mailbox was empty as was my deleted box) and as such I had used my 100Mb limit. It turns out that I had over 22000 spam emails that were being held in the junk mail folder (this folder isnt displayed in Outlook Express). This was taking up the entire 100mb limit. Once I had deleted the lot (click the "100% of 100Mb" link and then click delete contents on the resultant screen) - beware it takes ages and ages, zzzzzz's - Emails started coming in for the first time in weeks!
I think that the script or whatever it is that deletes spam email after 7 days has stopped working and it is this that are blocking our email accounts.
