I am still getting the message 'The connection to the server "pop.freeserve.co.uk" failed'.

I was advised to change my freeserve and use: pop.wanadoo.co.uk

this works for me.

Thanks FF,

Just tried this on my iPod at work and it worked immediately! Very Happy

There must still be something wrong though, because I haven't received an answer from Orange as to the cause of the problem........ Twisted Evil

I will change the settings on my pc when I get home and hopefully will be ok again.

Your fast repy will possibly help many others. Thanks again!

That's odd because all 4 of my email addresses are connecting OK when Outlook Express checks as default every 5 minutes.

Having said that, I've not received any emails other than the one I sent as a test from Gmail.

Perhaps I should have said that I was using pop.orangehome.co.uk

Apologies.

pop.wanadoo.co.uk
pop.orangehome.co.uk
pop.orange.co.uk

None of them work for me with thunderbird.
Webmail is still broken as well.

Skaters could try pop.shoveit.orange Laughing

Mine all came in right now too. BUT emails I send to myself as a test haven't been coming in for weeks. I just tried again. Still fails.

I was already using pop.orangehome.co.uk, but my email access has finally come back Smile

Could this have been caused by byself using openDNS rather than Orange's own DNS servers?

I use OPENDNS and in the last half hour i am now able to send email (smtp.orangehome.co.uk) but NOT receive (pop.orangehome.co.uk) using Outlook Express... Also in the last hour webmail has started working so i can send and receive with that.. so it would appear they are progressively resolving their problems .. if only they would show situation on their homepage...

I also use OPENDNS, and things are still not right. I'm receiving email via MS Outlook (and can also use the Orange Web Mail), but, and here's the weird bit, I can send to my Hotmail and Yahoo addresses and the emails arrive and are picked up there ok, but if I send to any address that ends in the same suffix as mine i.e. fsnet.co.uk they don't even turn up. (Like the test msgs to myself that I mention previously).

They are shown in in my sent box as successfully sent, they just don't arrive! Work that one out!! Confused

I can now log in to my @fslife webmail account, but can't send anything (although it goes in the Sent messages folder), and have had no messages since yesterday - I usually get loads. Test messages I send to my account don't arrive.

Orange Help say, that there were problems but it's "now all resolved". Clearly not.

Thoughts?

morning all, after the various email problems of the last few days I can tell you for certain that mine isn't working properly!

I can now connect to the server and it all looks like it's working. However, I've had no emails in the last 36 hours and I definitely should have received some (ebay and paypal transaction confirmations for example). I've sent test emails from variouis email accounts and the only one that reached me was from my wife's Orange email account. Looks like I'm cut off from all email services outside of the Orange system!

I hope they get this fixed soon - can't live without email!
