Right heres the deal, I recently got a SNL account and want to make use of it as much as posible for everything except gaming to save on the old PHONE BILL.

Now, my dad has an e-mail address setup under eircom and everyone he does business with knows it so he dosent want to change it.

Anyone know whats going on and how to fix it?

Ye I rekon the problem is ure server account setup in outlook or whatever.
you would expect the server to be:
mail.eircom.net
But its not! It is:
mail1.eircom.net
apparently mail1 is more effeciant r summit like that
