Problems with POP mail

JeromeZ · June 12th, 2003, 12:31 AM

I cannot seem to use mail.domainname.com now. Used to be able to. The POP email only works when I type domainname.com under the smtp and pop3 server addresses.

Using Outlook Express and on Dime5.

Any idea why?

yourdomainname.com is the standard address for both, does it not work?

I just wanted to find out the reason for the sudden disability to check my pop mail via mail.domainname.com . This has caused quite a bit of configuration problems with my clients, as they suddenly could not check their emails the next day (it happened quite a few days back).

Yes, leaving out the 'mail.' will work - but why?

Must I just stick to domainname.com? Or is there some configuration problem or server DNS problem that caused this sudden POP3 problem?

I dont see why it matters so much

i mean, do you give people email accounts?
you do right? well, why not tell them when they signup that they can access their accounts either way...
