E-mail server down?
I can't seem to consistently receive e-mail. I've been with a tech and they will reset the server and I get 1 download of mail and then, after multiple attempts, again about 4 hours later. It's been ...
I turned the "SSL" boxes off on both the SMTP and POP servers and got mail right away. It appears to be working as it should now. I am going to go check what "SSL" is. :)
I've been receiving mail with no problem.
How are you accessing it, via webmail or through an email client?
If you're using an email client, recommend the following POP settings:
username: <use entire user name including '@hughes.net'>
password: <your password>
incoming server: mail.hughes.net, port 110
outgoing server: smtp.hughes.net, port 587 (changed from 25, 'cause that's not supposed to work)
I don't recommend using SSL for either connection, since it can be flakey.
Hope this helps.
