The Flying Tench 43 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I recently had laptop stolen, and had new one from insurance company with Windows 8. I'm mainly sorted now except that I do a lot of emails and would like to use something like Outlook Express or Windows Mail which I have used in the past. A friend has spent hours trying to get Outlook loaded for me, but for some reason it is 'send only'. He feels the problem might be that the server settings are wrong. How can I find these out? I assume I should be able to phone or email Orange and ask them, but I can't even work out how to do that - ie I can't find the phone number. Any help appreciated.

peterpikefisher 12 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 (edited) hi unfortunately outlook express doesn't work with windows 8, outlook settings are available from the microsoft website or you could use incredimail Free edition it automatically sets up your email accounts IE: yahoo aol blueyonder etc , or there's live mail from windows basicly the same as hotmail.

Andy_1984 275 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 (edited) The incoming mail server is probably pop.orangehome.co.uk and outgoing smtp.orangehome.co.uk Set Secure password authentication to no Edited May 4, 2013 by Andy_1984 Owner of Tacklesack.co.uk Moderator at The-Pikers-Pit.co.uk Link to post Share on other sites

nick 28 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 (edited) smtp.freeserve.co.ukpop.freeserve.com and if you want something like outlook express or windows mail I like thunderbird, easy to install / configure, and customise as you want it Edited May 5, 2013 by nick Nick ...life what's it all about...?

Andrew 505 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Windows live for windows7, bit of a pest but easy to use when used to it, bit like OE "La conclusión es que los insultos sólo perjudican cuando vienen de alguien que respeto". “Vescere bracis meis” Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Walker 941 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 John, I think Nick's advice should do the trick. It's disappointing that the automatic configuration seems not to have worked for you, if everything is set up correctly these days you can usually configure email with just an email address and password!

kirisute 214 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 http://www.orange.co.uk/contact/ You say it's Outlook and not outlook express right? In which case what ISP are you with? You also say its send only...not receiving? It's usually the other way round and smtp settings won't effect that with server authentication. You don't authenticate to receive....only send. Orange have been taken over by EE so your now in fact 3 companies/email take overs down the line from your original freeserve settings! Outlook can be finicky with port settings so it might be that. http://www.fakenhamanglingclub.com Pen Rod Adventures VideosTwitter http://www.anglersnet.co.uk/forums/index.php?/blog/201-kirisutes-blog/ Link to post Share on other sites
