Re: Unable to send emails

Hi Dean. I’m unable to send on both pc and iPad. The difference is I get the error message on iPad but utter silence on pc. I think this has been going on for some time.

Re: Unable to send emails

I’m seriously considering moving to Virgin cable after Xmas as the hassle of replacing my email addresses has got to be easier and better than being treated like an idiot by PlusNet. I have had the ‘use webmail then’ solution given to me, but as a former network engineer for over ten years, I am aware that the issues lie with them. If they don’t sort this soon, I’ll be gone!

Re: Unable to send emails

Hi Buggy3360

Yes, this problem is annoying and I wouldn't be happy using webmail. I haven't used PlusNet Community for some years but I'm alarmed at the number of dissatisfied customers I see. My brother lives in the Borders and he can send ok but is unhappy with the service and is thinking of leaving. I'm wondering if it's possible to uninstall Mail and start again, but I'd have to print a lot of mails I need to keep. Gnash gnash!

Re: Unable to send emails

I replied at 2:15.... The answer is Yes, as long as I am still able to receive emails as I have been, there is no problem in changing the password.

Re: Unable to send emails

Hi Gandalf,

could you also take into account the following thread

https://community.plus.net/t5/Email/Unable-to-send-emails-from-a-Virgin-connection-Escalation-path/t...

as I have the same symptoms and there is some further information there that may be helpful for your engineers.

Kind regards

Mike

Re: Unable to send emails

@Wardio2, I've just updated your support ticket 184884631. We'd need to know the email address and the approx date & times that you're unable to login to webmail. Could you add a reply to that ticket letting us know over here when you've done so and we'll pick it up. Thanks.

Re: Unable to send emails

It seems the solution I am being offered would mean that I no longer RECEIVE emails...despite the fault being that I cant SEND them. I think I'll stick with receiving my mail as I have been and to send mail using Webmail until I cancel my account as I have decided enough is enough, I am moving to Virgin.....at least I will also get connection speeds worth the monthly payments......... Can't say its been fun Force9/Plusnet!!!!

Re: Unable to send emails

@Buggy3360, sorry to hear this you think this was a solution. We’d just need to temporarily change your password to try to diagnose the issue. This will mean that you won’t be able to receive mail, but I’d like to stress that this is temporary. Thanks.

Re: Unable to send emails

Hi Anoush. As I said earlier, I am now able to send using Webmail. At least, Webmail tells me when a message has gone.
