Re: Archiving emails to Mailstore
Froglady1 wrote: ⋮ My husband made a very valid point - what happens if Mailstore goes out of business? The files on my computer are not readable by anything else. It may seem a bit pedantic, but lots of apps come and go. Keep a copy of the MailStore application with your other application backups, i.e. in the unlikely event MailStore goes out of business you still have the application to install and use.19Views0likes0CommentsRe: Email not downloading from external server
Initiale, Your post mentioning VM304 has been rejected because it revealed personal information in the curl result posted. As a matter of urgency change the email account's password ASAP The curl result indicated you are trying to connect to Virgin Media's SMTP server and not to your email service provider's SMTP server; as Graham_A already mentioned. Try connecting to your email service provider's SMTP server, for instance, if my provider is example.com then the curl command would be: curl -v smtps://smtp.example.com -u me@example.com:rotavator-racecar-tenet-repaper Hopefully the result will show why your Virgin Media IP Address is being blocked.41Views0likes0CommentsRe: Email not downloading from external server
Consider trying the following troubleshooting but replacing the Virgin Media settings with those for your email service: From a desktop or laptop device open a: Command Prompt in Windows otherwise terminal app and enter the following where username:password is replaced with your email address and password, i.e. richard.branson@ virginmedia. com:rotavator-racecar-tenet-repaper: curl -v smtps://smtp.virginmedia.com -u username:password Do not post the resulting output here but instead review it for possible reported causes, i.e. VM error code; choosing to ignore this advice and posting the unredacted or incorrectly redacted output here will likely reveal your email address, password and / or public IP Address. FYI if there is no issue then you should see the following output from the curl command: ⋮ > AUTH PLAIN > < 334 > [Redacted] > < 235 2.7.0 SMTP350 Authentication successful for user \[Redacted\] > HELP > < 214-2.0.0 This is cmsmtp ESMTP service help > 214-2.0.0 This is cmsmtp ESMTP service help > < 214-2.0.0 To contact postmaster send email to [postmaster@virginmedia.com](mailto:postmaster@virginmedia.com). > 214-2.0.0 To contact postmaster send email to [postmaster@virginmedia.com](mailto:postmaster@virginmedia.com). > < 214-2.0.0 For local information send email to Postmaster at your site. > 214-2.0.0 For local information send email to Postmaster at your site. > < 214 2.0.0 end of HELP info > 214 2.0.0 end of HELP info * Connection #0 to host smtp.virginmedia.com left intact Otherwise an unsuccessful result will look similar to the following: ⋮ > AUTH PLAIN > < 334 > \[Redacted\] > < 525 5.7.13 Authentication Denied (VM320) * Closing connection 0 * TLSv1.2 (OUT), TLS alert, close notify (256): curl: (67) Login denied2Views0likes1CommentRe: Hacked ntlworld email addresses not completely closed.

If the password quoted was also used elsewhere then it is important it be changed ASAP.17Views0likes0CommentsRe: Email security

Thanks Hopefully the issue has resolved itself so the following is just FYI ping helps verify that a destination endpoint is alive, i.e. it is reachable and able to respond back to you. On a desktop or laptop device open a: Command Prompt in Windows Terminal app on other platforms (like macOS, Linux, etc) Type the following command and then press Enter key to execute: ping imap.virginmedia.com The resulting output will be similar to following if successful where each line after the initial line indicates a response to the ping PING imap-virginmedia-com.edge.unified.services (84.116.6.19) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from mail-virginmedia-com.nl1.edge.unified.services (84.116.6.19): icmp_seq=1 ttl=63 time=0.4 ms 64 bytes from mail-virginmedia-com.nl1.edge.unified.services (84.116.6.19): icmp_seq=2 ttl=63 time=0.4 ms ⋮12Views0likes0CommentsRe: People getting an email bounce
