POP3 ERRORS
POP3 (Post Office Protocol 3) Errors
Problems that occur with POP3 affect the download of your emails. These problems occur, either because of a
temporary glitch, file corruption, or because your account details are incorrect.
Checking your connection details are correct
Have you changed your account details recently? Make sure that you are not using CAPS LOCK while entering a
case sensitive password. There is a quick way to check that you are using the right password and username, by
connecting to the internet and using a program called a telnet client.
Telnet is program that allows you to access and talk to other computers, in this case you can pretend to be Outlook Express
and talk directly to the mailserver. This will allow you to see if it's your email account or Outlook Express that is at fault. This
should work with most versions of windows, although in Windows Vista you will need to add Telnet manually or download a
different telnet program, such as Putty.
1. Click the Start button, then RUN
2. In the RUN prompt, type 'cmd' (on Windows NT/2000/XP) or 'Command' on Windows 95/98/ME
3. In the new window, type 'telnet mail.plus.net 110' then press enter. Take care in your typing as you may not see
what you type so its easy to make a mistake. If you do, it's best to start again
4. You should be connected to the mail server - you should see the response +OK Hello there which confirms the mail
server is OK
5. Type in 'user your username' and hit the enter key (if your username was jsmith you would type 'user jsmith' )
6. You will then get a message +OK Password required - type in 'pass your password' and press enter (If your
password was opensesame you would type 'pass opensesame')
7. If it is correct, you will get an '+OK Well done' message. You are now in your mailbox and can be sure that
your email account details are correct
Problems that occur with SMTP affect your sending of emails. These problems can occur because of a temporary glitch (such
as another program blocking port 25 which is used by Outlook express to send emails). It is possible that the outgoing mail
server address is wrong. This should be relay.plus.net. This is the first thing you should check.
Testing your access to port 25
You can check to see if your email is being blocked by using a telnet client. If you can connect to the outgoing mail server on
port 25, this will confirm that your problem mostly likely lies with the Outlook Express application, or your settings. To do the
test:
1. Click the Start button, then RUN
2. In the RUN prompt, type 'cmd' (on Windows NT/2000/XP) or 'Command' on Windows 95/98/ME
3. In the new window, type 'telnet relay.plus.net 25' then press enter. Take care in your typing as you may not see what
you type so its easy to make a mistake. If you do, its best to start again
4. You should be connected to the mail server - you should see a response that begins with "220." which confirms the
port 25 is open. If you don't get the "220" response, either the mail server is not operating properly (check service
status), you're not connected to the internet or something on your system may be blocking port 25
If you run your own mail server and don't limit access to it, our network engineers may have blocked your access to port 25.
You will be contacted by support if this happens.
The above error message may occur if Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft Outlook Express cannot establish a connection with the
e-mail server. The error message is frequently caused by one of the following reasons:
0x800CCC6B SMTP 551 USER NOT LOCAL - User mailbox is known but mailbox not on this server
Login to Webmail and moved the Latest mail to different folder
if still not working Check the Firewall Setting. Recreate the account
If this fails too, refer to Microsoft or Computer vendor
0x800CCC6E SMTP 553 MAILBOX NAME SYNTAX - Invalid mailbox name syntax
Reconfigure Outlook Express Account.
Restart the Computer
If not, refer Customer to Microsoft or Computer vendor
2. Click on the News tab, then click Add and choose News.
5. Type in the name of our news server - news.plus.net. Then click Next, finish and then close.
6. You will then be asked the following question "Would you like to download newsgroups from the news account you
added?" Make sure that you are connected to PlusNet, then click Yes
7. To search for the PlusNet newsgroups, type PlusNet in the search field and all the PlusNet newsgroups will appear.
Highlight the groups you wish to subscribe to, then click the Subscribe button and then OK.
8. You will now see the groups to which you subscribed in the left hand column. To view a group, simply double-click it.
9. To see the latest postings to a group, click on Tools then Accounts, and select Get Next 300 Headers.
RAS/DUN errors indicate problems with your dial-up or network system. Outlook Express is tied to your dial-up settings, so if
you open it, while not online, it can either automatically connect, or give you the option to connect. You should check your
connection settings within Outlook Express
Winsock is the windows component that Outlook Express uses for all its TCP/IP (internet) communication. Winsock errors are
usually caused by problems within the application/ operating system, sometimes as a result of bad configuration. They may
be temporary in nature, vanishing on a reboot. They may be the result of a corruption within either Outlook Express or
Windows.
IMAP allows Outlook Express to store emails on the mailserver, allowing access to all your email, old and new from anywhere
you can access email. Problems that occur with IMAP are mostly the same types of problems that occur with the more
common POP3 mail system. If you were intentionally using the IMAP service, make sure that your settings are correct.
Because IMAP stores all your emails on the mailserver it is possible that a corrupt email (often with large attachments etc)
may be the cause of problems. If you think this has occurred, raise a Question to our Support Team using the Help Assistant.
Our network engineers will then investigate further.
