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 received e-mail with the same settings over 3 different devices for over a year and then this problem occurred, so I doubt that it's my settings unless Hughes changed their server settings. It's just so frustrating tha I have to go through all the hoops without knowing if the problem is Hughes server. Is there a way to discover whether the Hughes server is on-line and functioning properly before spending an hour wasting time with things that aren't the problem?
I can also confirm that Hughes' email server is up and running, as I've been receiving emails to it all day (though only notices from this Community (I don't use my Hughes email for anything else)). With that said, I did just send an email from my MSN address to my Hughes address and it was received. I also sent an email from my Gmail address and it was received, as well.
Are these emails from a specific address or domain or is it just any and all email that you're not receiving?
I actually misspoke. The mail widget uses IMAP:
server: mail.hughes.net, port 993, with SSL.
Still works.
