In Australia using the email client program that comes pre loaded I am having trouble setting up pop3 email to an existing account, and I am using exactly the same details as on my Win7 laptop, and Ubuntu machine.
I type in email address and password/ tap next
Select POP3
Incoming server settings display correctly, except for user name, modify that, as my user name is not my email address.
POP3 server - pop3.people.net.au (correct)
Security type none (correct)
Port 110 (correct)
Delete mail from server Never (correct, what i want)
Tap next
Computer checks that and come back ok and shows the
Outgoing server settings screen.
SMTP server shows smtp.people.net.au (correct)
Security type none (correct)
Port 587 (not correct but give it a try)
Require sign-in box ticked (not correct so untick it)
Tap next
Dialog Box- "Checking outgoing server settings"
Returns the following messages
Dialog Box - "Setup could not finish"
"Unable to open connection to server"
Have changed the port from 587 to port 80 the same as the Win7 laptop and get the following message:-
Dialog box - "Checking outgoing server settings"
Returns the following message
Dialog box - "Authentication methods are not supported by server"
By the way have ask Asus what the problem is, first reply was to get in touch with Microsoft, evidently did not understand what I was asking, so threw it back to them, and are still waiting for reply.
