I have had Poco for about three years and I really like it.
Due to some recent changes with my email provider FUSEMAIL, I recently lost all of my Poco set up.
I have started setting up my Poco4 accounts again... I only have two.
I want them set up as POP accounts.
I accessed the FuseMail Customer Support Page which lists server port numbers and a few other basic set up details.
When I began setting up in Poco, I listed Incoming server as POP.FUSEMAIL.NET which is the info FuseMail gave me.
I tried filling in all the Poco4 accounts set up info. as best i could according to the basic info FuseMail gave me.
I know I must have made a mistake somewhere. When I tried to check mail for the first time, through Poco, I received socket error #11060 Connection Timed Out.
I am trying to figure out what I have done wrong.
Here are a few questions concerning areas I might have set wrong.
One of my questions has to do with "Incoming Server" username and password.
I assume that means the username and password I use to login into FuseMail ... therefore, does that mean that all my Poco accounts should have the same info listed for "Incoming server username and password"? .... that all my accounts should have the same username ... the username I login into FuseMail with?
So, is that the same for "Outgoing Server Authentication" username and password ... always the same as Incoming... for all my Poco accounts.... always the username and password I use to login to FuseMail, for both Incoming and Outgoing Servers?
Also, FuseMail customer info. is confusing as it does not help me understand if I need to have TLS on, which means I have to tick the Enable Secure Connection (SSL) box in the "Outgoing Server Details".
Under the General Tab, "Outgoing Server", where I am offered to tick the box for "Use same username/password for outgoing server", I cannot do that or it disables the "Enable Secure Connection (SSL)" and the "TLS" option on the Outgoing Server Details page (Outgoing Tab) ... so I did not tick that box for "Use same username and password for Outgoing Server".
But in the General tab, under Server Settings for Incoming Server ... I did not tick the "Enable Secure Conncetion (SSL)" box ... was that a mistake since I do have "Enable Secure Connection" ticked on the outgoing server page?
Here is what FuseMail lists for POP setting :
POP.FUSEMAIL.NET, TC Ports and Remarks : 110, 80, and 995 for SSl 25, 2500, 25000 w/ TLS negotiation
Outgoing SMTP SMTP.FUSEMAIL.NET ports 2501 and 463 w/TLS On, connect, SMTP Authentication Required"
Yet I am concerned that I do not have any "SMTP" as my outgoing server. When I put POP.FUSEMAIL.NET as my incoing server, this was also automatically listed as my "outgoing server" (General tab).
I'm wondering about Port numbers also. I am confused whether or not I need SSL or TLS and which ports I should be using. Right now incoming server port is set at 143, outging is 2501.
Also, I have turned off "Online Operation" ... would that cause "socket error" or effect anything too much?
I just want a simple POP account.
I would appreciate any suggestions as to what all I am doing wrong in Accounts' set up.
