They seldom go down, and I have been giving that out instead of my blueyonder address. Would that work? (BTW - notifications for these threads are going in to my spam box on the webmail side) Re: My email down again !! So don't ring up when it suggests my account has been locked or do I need to ring up to get yet another pass phrase? Re: Email not receiving with Outlook - connection error's In other news, the notifications for these threads keep going into the spam folder on my Virginmedia Webmail Re: Email not receiving with Outlook - connection error's I wonder how long this post will stay up. Re: Email not receiving with Outlook - connection error's I believe someone gave a technical reason, involving encryption and operating systems out of MS support as to what has gone wrong, but that post has been deleted. What was the issue with it? Is it an issue that VM can fix? I still need to be able to download VM emails on my 8.1 auxiliary laptop, via Live Mail. Re: Problems accessing VM emails on Live Mail on Windows 8.1 I have one 8.1 laptop and one Windows 10 23H2 laptop, both on Windows Live Mail 2012. I also have an EE mobile phone with Aqua The only device that this is not working is the solitary Windows 8.1 laptop with Windows Live Mail 2012. I note that others on this forum seem to be having similar if not identical issues. Re: Email not receiving with Outlook - connection error's Gareth This sound like the problem I am having on Windows Live Mail 2012, with my Windows 8.1 laptop, on which I get Unable to send or receive messages for the Blueyonder.co (g.stickings) account. Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Server: 'pop3.virginmedia.com' Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0F Protocol: POP3 Port: 995 Secure(SSL): Yes Strangely, my Windows 10 laptop, which is at 22H2 is not having this and is also uses Windows Live Mail 2012. I started my own thread on this here Re: Problems accessing VM emails on Live Mail on Windows 8.1 Has this just been affecting Windows 8.1 or other versions of Windows? Problems accessing VM emails on Live Mail on Windows 8.1 Since Monday 15 April I have been unable to download either my Blueyonder email or my virginmedia.com email on my Windows 8.1 laptop using Windows Live Mail 2012. I can still download those email addresses using Windows Live Mail 2012 on my Windows 10 laptop, which is currently at 22H2. The settings on Windows Live Mail for both the Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 machine are identical. If I try and download my Blueyonder email on my Windows 8.1 laptop I get this error Unable to send or receive messages for the Blueyonder.co (g.stickings) account. Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Server: 'pop3.virginmedia.com' Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0F Protocol: POP3 Port: 995 Secure(SSL): Yes Any clues why this should be and what the fix might be? Can someone refresh me what the manual POP3 settings should be to download and send Blueyonder or virginmedia.com emails?
