Just another "lovely" glitch!....... huh!!
Frankly I don't know why I'm sending this, as my email provider, is not "connecting to server", so, if & when I get an answer to this query, I probably won't be able to access your reply!
On the other hand, if it corrects itself in the meantime, [it has before] at least I'll hopefully have some answers on what to do, the next time it happens, as I expect it will.
It's just the reverse of the problem I had on my own laptop, then, I could do emails, but not get on the net, now I can access the net, [as witness this post] but not the email programme.
I get the banner that says, [in brief];- "The mailhost / host pophost 1 could not be found, please verify that you have entered the server name correctly, blah, blah, blah."
I have run my AV, no viruses found, nothing in the "vault", I've checked connections & the phone-line, also checked dial-up connection via desktop; "connected"& it shows the activity , bytes in & out.
I realise that the latter checks were superfluous, but I checked them anyway, in my desperation.
Any ideas?, as I said, I've had this before some time ago on my own laptop, & I believe it righted itself, or, someone told me that there was a procedure to correct it, all in all, it's a d****d nuisance.
