Webmail Link On Safari

Tykebike — Sun, 16 Jan 2022 10:21:16 GMT

I use a shortcut on my Safari toolbar to access webmail but cannot get it to work properly now, the link I'm using is:https://webmail.plus.net

The login screen is displayed, I then fill in my username, password and Force9 as the server and enter login, I then get the error message shown in the screenshot attached.

Can anyone help please?

Hi, I've just tried logging in here on the same URL and it worked fine. It might be blocked by a filter (parental setting). Which would explain the 303 error redirecting. Have you tried connecting on a mobile phone using 4G rather than the Plusnet network

Have a read of this - network - Safari giving "kCFErrorDomainCFNetwork error 303" when visiting a site - Ask Different (stackexchange.com) - it is a tad technical!

I am not encountering this error when logging in via Safari on iPhone 11. Not using Plusnet's parental safeguarding, on a static IP address.

Details of device / iOS version / safeguarding tools / AV / VPN / static IP address (as applicable) would be helpful here please.

Here's my 10p's worth for what, if any, good it will do. Using the link provided by @Tykebike I managed to log in to my Plusnet mail using Safari v15.2 on macOS Monterey v12.1.

Looking at @Townman's link I checked to see if I had the archive.org cache which I don't so might explain my ability to log in. Do you have the archive.org cache @Bojang1?

As an aside @Tykebike why don't you configure Apple Mail to access the account on your machine, it's so much more convenient.

Hello Everyone,

Sorry for the delay in replying to your kind replies, I've been banging my head against a brick wall trying to get Outlook for Android set up to view my F9 emails whilst on holiday abroad; I gave up in the end and opted for Samsung email which took all of 5 mins to get up and running with imap.

This was one of the reasons for wanting to access webmail to read my emails when I'm away from home as I used to have problems sending emails from my Macbook Pro when connected to other people's wifi but someone on here helped me overcome that one.

To answer a few of your questions:

@Bojang1 I have successfully connected using the same web address on my Android phone away from home.

As far as I am aware I do not have any parental filters on Plusnet or Kaspersky as I do not have any children.

@Townman I am having this problem on my mid 2014 Macbook Pro running Big Sur 11.6.2 Safari 15.2

Kaspersky Internet Protection is active. No VPN. Static IP Address 192.168.1.64

@Townman @Mook I looked at the article and deleted the archive.org cache and then managed to log in successfully but this has now changed and I am back to square one.

@Mook I do use Mac Mail but as mentioned above when I am away from home I sometimes have problems sending mail (receiving them no problem) so I revert to using webmail.

I can successfully login to webmail using the same address on my pc running windows 10 on the same network.

Issues sending when not on the Plusnet network is usually down to the SMTP server configuration not being set up to use AUTHENTICATION - that should be "use the same as the incoming server".

Static IP address - I was referring to your Plusnet (WAN) IP address, not your LAN IP address.
