Rhonda, Is she using dsl from earthlink? The reason I ask is that when we moved here we had to get dsl from sbc as earthlink doesn't support it here. But, I wanted to keep my earthlink email account for a while, so used the sbc dsl but connected to the earthlink servers for email. This worked for quite a while but recently I found I was unable to send mail at all, and neither earthlink nor sbc would admit to having a problem. This just happened one day and email was dead from then on.
I did often experience slow downloads of email as well when connecting this way. Personally, I never noticed a difference in speed when switching from mail.earthlink.net to pop.earthlink.net, but anything is worth trying. Does the browser work okay with the dsl connection? If so, that would eliminate the connection itself as being the problem. At least I'd think so. <smile> Don On Fri, 11 Mar 2005 18:18:20 -0700, Rhonda Clark wrote: Hi, Don: She doesn't have dial up. She has always used DSL with this service. I did have her delete everything, and we put it back in. I'll have her change the pop server, though. I was using pop.earthlink.net. It's worth a try. I would think New York would have the same system as anywhere else. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Don Bishop" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, March 11, 2005 6:12 PM Subject: re: [Braillenote] Earthlink > Actually, either mail.earthlink.net or pop.earthlink.net for the pop server or mail.earthlink.net or smtp.earthlink.net for the smtp server will work. > When I had earthlink I started with the mail prefix for several years until I had to go to the earthlink site to check the server names as I needed a server with > authentication.
