Re: Email, changing to IMAP from POP3
That is exactly what I did, several times, but still not connecting.
I have checked and double checked the settings and they are exactly the same as on the link.

Re: Email, changing to IMAP from POP3
I will ask if one of the mods can assist, sometimes the mail servers don't sync passwords properly.

Re: Email, changing to IMAP from POP3
Many thanks for your assistance, doing this is a very frustating experience, hopefully once resolved never to be repeated.

Re: Email, changing to IMAP from POP3
Might be useful to try another mail client. That might narrow the problem down.

Have you selected the correct password options? e.g. the 'SMTP server requires authentication' box should be checked and the password should be entered whereas the 'Secure Password Authentication' box should be left clear
