AND

Your POP3 server has not responded in 60 seconds

Any suggestions? Internet connection is fine

Mamag, just wanted to say sorry, you know what for.

sounds like it's a problem at the isp

Are you using outlook express?

ranting - no idea! What have you done!

CD - yes

I would say a prob at the ISP then
do they have a helpline

Have you tried rebooting your router?

How do I reboot my router?

Do you mean I should ring the toucan helpline
(I am hopeless btw)

Thought I upset you earlier.
Have you checked the address that your emails are routed to, should say something like pop3toucansurf.com.

Your broadband box thing may have its knickers in a twist, you could turn it off and on again (leave off for a while eg 2 mins)

But if internet is working and you have changed no settings I would call Toucan first tbh.

Oh God no, rh, I'm not upset at all!

yes, it says something like that

OK cd, thanks, will try taht.

Probably something wrong with your isp's mail servers.
Email them

har blardy har

is it working now?? The server(s) seems to be behaving as it should (it's certainly talking back to me in a telnet session..... (ignore the geekiness at the end..)

yes thank you

Thnis happens with me sometimes-turn everything off count to 10 -make a cuppa come back & re-boot the PC & then the BB box thingy.

If all else fails try my secret weapon

works every time!

See techno-geek me!!
