P;3 Posted June 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 just spoken with the help desk who inform me that the web site is off line for maintenance; (yea....right..... next story)OK?if it IS off line, then could someone explain to ME why/how I am STILL able to send and receive via OE and get my mailwasher to check the site, if in FACT the site is off line?when my BT went off line for site maintenance I could not even check the server with any of my tools as the server was not there TO BE checked; so how come I can still mail via my tools but NOT find nor open the server? and webmail.talkgas.tv apparently is a false trail :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P;3 Posted June 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 I have a 'work-around' to suggest to the talkgas folks the web site is 'down' (apparently) BUT Outlook express still works; HOW it does with the server off line I just do not know :( are those of you who use the web mail able to program your Outlook express or outlook programs to enable THEM to facilitate the talk gas mails?muy OE still sends and receives from SOMEWHERE talk gas related so...why not try THAT option?

P;3 Posted August 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 welcome to anyone new to this treasure hunt challenging thread of 'search for the server and settings 'the NEXT part of the saga is change your settings totools/accounts /mail/(choose talkgas)/properties/serverrename your INCOMING server to pop.talkgas.tvI have done two tests and much to my surprise ., it works :D if you use mailwasher you will also need to change settings within it too :( any feedback from the folks following this and caught up in this delightfully changing scene would be useful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P;3 Posted August 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 sorry but I jusy gotta laugh :( :D OK; have you put thispop.talkgas.tvin your INCOMING ?from the little I know I have looked at your headers and the trail and you seem to go just about EVERYWHERE thought of changing another address for you try the smtp as freeserve.com?you can always change things back if they fail so keep a record of what you have doneof interest, CAN you send and receive with your free serve (orange )address?

glassy Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 no laughing allowed, yes i can send with my orange account, it has no problems merrily sending and receiving. I have changed my outgoing to pop.talkgas.tv promise up until yesterday it was still supanet.com which I found from this thread. I have another e mail address but I am very fond of my talkgas.net and reluctant to let go it is sort of like an old blanket or giving up smoking.

Watchful Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 As far as I'm aware your pop and smtp addresses should be the same for whichever account you are using. Either Orange or talkgas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
