wellwell pd, normally you would need nothing else then the correct account name, account pwd, pop-url and smtp-url.
did you check out http://home.315.westelcom.com/pr/nnmailsvr.htm ? should be the answer to your question. if there's still a problem left: download http://www.atstake.com/research/tools/nc11nt.zip for that you find a description at http://www.atstake.com/research/tools/index.html decompress nc11nt.zip in c:\dos\netcat\ and run the dos command prompt: 1. c:\dos\netcat>nc -v -v mail.northnet.org 25 2. helo 3. mail from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 4. rcpt to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 5. data 6. subject: test 7. teststring in the body 8. . 9. quit 10. now you should have mail on your server, get it with: 11. c:\dos\netcat>nc -v -v mail.northnet.org 110 12. user (your accountname here) 13. pass (your password here) 14. stat 15. list 16. retr 1 (or the highest number you got as answer for list<return>) 17. read the mail you just created 18. delete the testmail: dele <right number> 19. quit if this works, but your probs are still there THEN it might be a ns7-issue. i have the impression the mail.northnet.org servers are a little bit slow, but from local dialin they might be faster, and anyway i don't know if they've ever been faster. if you think they slowed down, make a packet-capture of 1.- 19.with analyzer (http://analyzer.polito.it/) and send it to the northnet.org support. good luck pd wrote: > Hi. > My ISP recently "upgraded" their mail sever and now things are working > oddly with my N7. > I am running Win98 SE with plenty of memory and a 20 gig drive. > > My isp runs POP mail. > What I am asking is, are there specific questions I should ask my ISP in > order to set my Server Settings for the POP mail and my Outgoin Server > SMPT settings? > > > thanks
