EMAI OUTLOOK 2002 NOT RECEIVING POP3

cat&mouse

Can anyone tell me what I put in the box when it ask for USER NAME & NETWORK PASSWORD. I am confused on this. My PP3 server wont allow incoming mail, I was given a password by eircom ? would it be that. If it is, it keeps refusing it.
Do I type in eircom before the few digits. any please.:mad: I use Microsoft Outlook

what is the email address?

often the username is the full email address

HI
MY email [EMAIL="catandmouse@eircomdotnet"]catandmouse@eircomdotnet[/EMAIL]
I seem to mess up the passwords. Not sure which password is which?

ronkmonster

use the password you would use to logon to web interface

You can check if you have the correct username/password by going onto the eircom site (www.eircom.net) and then choosing the my email tab
enter your username the @eircom.net bit is preset
Enter your password.

It should then open your email account where you can read your mail send messages etc. If it doesn't then either the username or password is incorrect.

In Outlook the username is username@eircom.net i.e. catandmouse@eircom.net the password is whatever you set up when signing up for your eircom email account

password is whatever you set up when signing up for your eircom email account
THIS IS MY QUERY. WHAT PASSWORD DO YOU MEAN. I forget when i set up my acount but have wrote a password eircom gave me when i was setting up the computer. Can't remember what it was for. it says Eircom2541224 (would this be the Network Password outlook is asking for?)

ronkmonster

that sounds like your broadband router password, which is different

there is probably a password reset on the eircom site but i don't use eircom so i'm not familar with the process. you might have security questions asked (set on email setup) to reset the password

That has been a fantastic help. I went into eircom mail and there it came up with all my messages. So, i have not lost my stuff. But outlook i was using and would like to keep using it but in the meantime i okay:)

ronkmonster

if you can login to eircom with your email address and password then use the same for outlook

some of your other settings may be incorrect if it still fails

Eircom 2541 224 sound like the wireless SSID for your router? Maybe it was the Wireless Encryption Password (WEP) your were given that time.

Your email password would be a completely separate password.
Ring the Email Password Department in Eircom at 1530 277 100 if you need to get it again.

That is where I had confused myself. At least I know now which is which. Yes, I have wireless eircom .
