Configuring my sky.com email address in thunderbird on linux Mint Qiana

SOURCE: isp refusal of thunderbird

Do you mean you're using Thunderbird as your mail client?

There are usually only two things wrong when this happens:

1) You typed in the name of the servers incorrectly (i.e. smtp.isp.com or something). There should be two settings. One for inbound and one for outbound.

2) Your ID and/or password are incorrect. If they have a web client, try your ID/Password there.

The correct settings can be found here:

If all else fails, go to this address:
http://isp.com/contact.asp

and contact either by phone or email.

Confirm with your ISP the settings needed for Thunderbird, such as POP3 for incoming and outgoing mail along with your username to access your emails. If you are using Thunderbird to get Hotmail/Yahoo/Gmail emails then check with their support pages for further help.

Applogies for the copy and paste, but it's rather long winded to type, but sky tools is not the email setting, see below:-

1.Open Outlook Express, click Tools then select Accounts 2. Click the Mail tab, then click Add and select Mail 3. The wizard will start. Type in your name then click Next 4. Enter your email address then click Next 5. Leave the My Incoming Mail Server is a POP3 Server drop down box as POP3. In Incoming Mail Server enter: pop.sky.com (all lowercase, no spaces). In Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server enter: smtp.sky.com (all lowercase, no spaces). 6. In the Account Name Box enter the first part of your @sky.com email address (everything before the @ sign). In the Password Box, enter the password for your @sky.com email account, then click Next. 7. Click Finish 8. To complete the acount creation process click Tools then select Accounts 9. Click the Mail tab, then click Properties 10. Click the My server requires authentication box to place a tick inside. Click OK 11. Repeat the above process for each mail account you want to set up, including sub accounts. Each sub account will have a different email address and password. If you're having trouble sending email from Outlook Express (or other email software), it may mean you need to switch on SMTP authentication.

Check your Internet Explorer's privacy settings, you must not be allowing hotmail.com to display, you might be blocking it
