Solution
This problem happens because your version
of Outlook Express is set up to use Secure Socket Layer (SSL),
which Universal Telecom does not use.
To fix this problem:
- Open Outlook Express, and click
Tools
- Then click on Accounts
- Then click on your Email
connection and click Properties
- Then click Advanced
- On this screen remove the checks
from the boxes This server requires a secure
connection for both Outgoing mail (SMTP) and
Incoming mail (POP3).
- Bear in mind that you should be
using a dial-up connection number prefixed with
1470 and that the outgoing mail server is
smtp.dslconnect.co.uk
You will then be able to collect your mail.
