Thread: Help me use Windows Live Mail

I have been trying to set up Windows Live mail to recieve emails from my site. It doesn't seem to be working.

Can anyone help? Thanks.

Richard

Richard,

1. Do you have an account with BlueVoda?
2. Are you trying to receive some sort of order/information from your FORM created with BV?

Yes I have a BV account. I have created 3 separate email accounts. I want them to link with Windows Live, but I must be missing a setting somewhere. Two of the email accounts are to recieve form information, the other is simply a contact email account. I have been playing with the contact email account by sending a test email to it. I can recieve it when I connect to the server, but there must be a problem when Windows Live Mail connects to the server.

Hope this explains the problem.

Windows mail is exactly the same as outlook. Have u gone over the tutorials?

Karen

I just went back over the tutorials. I will have a play and see how I get on.

I am pretty sure I have all the settings correct, but when I connect to the server via Windows Live Mail...it says there are no messages, when there definitely are because I have sent test messages from a different email account. Strange!

Ok, just done a quick test. I can send mail to another email address using my site's contact email in Windows Live mail...but I cannot recieve a reply. WHY!!!???!!!

You dont have any FORWARDERS installed in your attempt to set it up? Cuz that will really messup the works... you have to actually go to the forward area to delete them.. deleting the account wont do it.

Karen

I am not quite sure I understand what you mean.

In the mail window..setting up your email accounts. Did you set up any mail FORWARDERs.??

Karen

No I have not set any forwarders at all

I don't understand it, all the settings I have used should work. But for some reason I am not recieving mail at all.

are you getting it in cpanel when u login?

Karen

Yeah I am getting mail in CPanel, but it would be easier for me to access it from Windows Live Mail. It is just for convenience, but as you know...convenience is time and time as they say is money.

Well id have to know your settings as to why you arent recieving. usually its just the sending thats an issue and you have to use your isp settings.
