If in doubt, reboot. Is he using a local email client like Outlook Express? If so, set up a new account and see if that works. Also there is a check box to include an account when accessing an email system.
I doubt that the ISP has suddenly started blocking port 110 or 25. These ports are defined to be used by everyone for special programs like email. Some ISPs use other port numbers for emails. Are you sure he was using 110? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Madigan" <[email protected]> To: "ProFox Email List" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, September 13, 2012 1:05 PM Subject: Re: [NF] all of a sudden pop3 not working, client losing mind I know, that's what I'm trying to explain to him but he's becoming belligerent. How can opening up port 25 have anything to do with port 110? I've never blocked 110 on any of his computers. ________________________________ From: Mike Copeland <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, December 31, 1969 7:00 PM Subject: Re: [NF] all of a sudden pop3 not working, client losing mind POP3 is inbound and uses port 110 SMTP is outbound email and uses port 25 The are totally separate processes.
