I think I've managed to work out that problem now...
The problem I have now is I can't download messages off of the mailserver
from my PC. I have qmail setup on another mailserver, but I didn't set that
up..
Does anyone have any pointers as to what to do? Is there something I need
to enable POP or SMTP on the machine? Or should qmail have sorted that out?
The error I get from Outlook Express is :
The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'DWS', Server:
'dwshop2.dedic.web.xara.net', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No,
Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E
Cheers,
Kevin
