Even worst I just found out that
1. requesting a pop3 email box will be refused
2. smtp access is closed/blocked

IMAP is said to be working thought!
I dont understand how IMAP can be working if SMTP is closed

And I was told something very weird in the lines of that some ppl use pop3
to send emails, does this even make sense!

regards,
Ali
