Frustrated!! Please Help!

I am trying to set up my Windows Mail. I can send a message, but when
trying to receive one, I get the following error message.

The host 'pop3.windstream.net' could not be found. Please verify that
you have entered the server name correctly.
Account: 'Windows Mail', Server: 'pop3.windstream.net', Protocol: POP3,
Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 11001, Error Number:
0x800CCC0D

Also, is there a way to have other email (windstream) come to this same
box?

 

You have the wrong incoming mail server name.
It should be "pop.windstream.net" not "pop3.windstream.net"

Correct this and it should work. Information taken from windstream.net support web page. You should try it some time.

 

Remove the "3" from the Incoming server name...
as per
http://www2.windstream.net/alltel/p...L=/customersupport/email/expresspc/index.html


You can access other POP3 or IMAP accounts.
Tools - Accounts - Add

 

Thank You to everyone who helped me! I changed my incoming server name
and it works like a charm! I had been looking at it for so long and hard
that the obvious didn't catch my eye.

Thanks again!
