Not getting my email pop3 keep coming up wait for 60 sec . some **** like that.
This is either a configuration issue, firewall issue or an email user name/password issue.
Go to the website of your email web host to obtain the configuration information for your email client (Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird). Most large service providers have this info on their site. If not the information can be found doing a simple search. I recommend Google. The information should include setup for the SMTP and POP servers. It will look something like this example:
pop.server.hostname.com
smtp.server.hostname.com
This is critical and is how your PC establishes communication with the email server. Verify that the information in your email configuration matches exactly. Also make sure there are no spaces in the field where this information is entered.
Verify the ports used for email.
SMTP uses port 25 or may use port 587 optionally
POP uses port 110
Make sure that if you are using a 3rd party firewall application that the firewall is configured to allow traffic on the above ports. If the traffic is blocked no email.
Next is the user name and password.
Most mail host set your email address as your user name.
Password can be reset with a call to the support desk fto your mail host. Be prepared to have your email address, account number, and be authorized to access the account for help when you call.
Once the new password is setup, enter the information into the email configuration.
Make sure to send a test message to verify the workings.
