Frickin POP3 mail account problems

[Sideburnt]

Sheesh

Its a right pain setting up POP3 mail acocunts, in fact I've never had one working.

Currently I've solved my Yahoo and Hotmail accounts by using Windows Live and forwarding all my mails from yahoo to hotmail.

But I've got another POP3 account that wants money to set up mail forwarding. Sod that me thinks.

I'm 100% sure that all my settings for POP3 mail retrieval are correct,

INCOMING: pop3.graffiti.net
OUTGOING:smtpx.graffiti.net
USERNAME: imbas@graffiti.net
P/W: XXXXXX

all yes to outgoing secure authentification, and same ID for sending emails.

but no dice grandma, no emails and a message telling me that im not connected or have incorrect account settings.

My internet connection works fine 3G and GPRS, I use it all the time, I have tried to retrieve emails while synced and while roaming, still no luck.

Anything I'm being thick about, or is the POP3 mail facility in WM6 just really fickle and buggy?

Thanks in advance for all help

Pop3 is fine. I have never had any issues with it in WM2003, WM5 and WM6.

I don't know graffiti.net personally. but a quick look at their login page and the fact they have a link to "interaction with other devices" or something like that suggests that you need to enable it on their website.

(Yahoo email requires you to log in to the webmail client and enable pop3 forwarding and access before you can access your emails via outlook or on your device and I am going to guess that graffiti make you do something similar)

Here in the states on AT&T I have to use the AT&T smtp mail server for sending email, but getting my POP3 email works fine. have you ever had your graffiti pop3 account working somewhere else?
