3rd Party Email Clients
Forgive me, but I posted this question to a different group, and I'm afraid the few answers I was given, habe left me even more perplexed. Hope you don't mind if I try here, issue as follows. Has anyone managed to solve the 3rd party email issue, as a result of virgin e-mail's security upgrade some weeks ago. Webmail works, I think I tested Outlook too, but I've been with Thunderbird for years. Would like to be able to continue doing so, but constantly been getting the password error (You know how frustrating it is if you've experienced it). The solution has something to do with Google App, but cant remember the rest of it. Tech support have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about, no surprise there, doesn't appear on their onscreen instructions obviously. Outside their remit, perhaps, in other words, not their fault. But there has to be a permanent fix, at least I hope there is?? Thank you group.45Views0likes1Commentemail content slow to load using thunderbird
I use Thunderbird as an email client, and a POP connection to download emails. This has worked pretty well for years. In the last few weeks the email content has been very slow to load. Although the list of emails in the inbox in Thunderbird appears quickly, when I select an email to view its content there is a delay of perhaps 5s while it says 'Loading Message...'. There is a similar delay when deleting a message. Once a message has been loaded, it can be re-visited without a delay, but if marked as unread there is again a delay next time it is read. Also I'm occasionally getting pop-ups telling me the connection to the server is lost (or something to that effect). I have another account using an IMAP connection which doesn't suffer from any delay, although I also get pop-ups complaining about the IMAP server. Anyone alse seeing this?Solved1KViews0likes3CommentsUnable to access POP or IMAP
Having been a customer since NTL days, I have been using my principal NTLWorld email account constantly for decades. Outlook is the master client running on a Windoze 10 PC with many email addresses from different providers including my own domains. The system polls all email accounts every 5 minutes and in recent weeks I have been getting an occasional pop-up which indicates the NTLWorld.com account isn't permitting access. This usually resolves itself but over the past 2 days, this particular email account just refuses to allow POP or IMAP access. Long story short, I deleted the local Outlook account and tried oh so many times, to create a new account to connect but it refuses to connect. I get an Outlook-generated pop-up saying "We couldn't logon to the incoming (POP) server. Pease check your email address and password and try again." Some info: IMAP and POP3 won't work Tried setting up with Thunderbird - won't work either. Similar error notice. Webmail access does work - very odd. Setting up several of my seldom-used NTLWorld accounts in Outlook works like a dream! Even more irritating, this particular email address is the master for the VirginMedia broadband account! So the question is - has the access for POP/IMAP been turned off for this particular account at the VirginMedia Mothership? I cannot find any method of manually turning it off and back on [like Gmail]. Perhaps it needs resetting on the server? Any guidance as to how the get this resolved will be greatly appreciated!Solved5.8KViews0likes13Comments
