POP3 Access Available in Inbox.com

Post by war1 »

POP3 and SMTP access are in beta (whatever that means) is available for Inbox.com. They work. You have to enable POP3 in Settings.

Inbox has 2 GB storage, good spam filtering, calendar, and other interesting features. You are suppose to be able to access the Sent and Spam folders via POP3.

In other email news, Spymac ended free POP3 and SMTP access.

I recently registered for the Inbox.com service. I have enabled pop3 access but am unable to log into the server using my local client (Outlook Express).

Is it working okay for other people?

Thanks for the reply. The pop3 server name and username/password all seem to be correct. Here's the error message Outlook Express is giving me:

The server responded with an error. Account: 'my.inbox.com', Server: 'my.inbox.com', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR Syntax error, command unrecognized', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC90

Any ideas please?

If you just created the account, it takes from a few hours to a day for POP3 access to work.

So your sent problem is with Outlook and not Pop Peeper? What is the exact error message? Can you send with Pop Peeper? Make sure my outgoing server requires authentication is selected.

well, I can receive message but i cannot send message.

It's said "the specified server was found, but there was no respnse from the server. please verift that the port and SSL information is correct. to access theres sttings close this ialog, then clikc more settings and click on the avanced tab."

"Find outgoing mail server (SMTP): Outlook could not connnect ot the outgoing mail server (smtp). Verify your port and ssl settings in more settings under the advanced tab."

Have you heard that before?

Glad you got SMTP working. Some ISPs block port 25 for servers other than itself.

Hello,

I'm bumping this thread as i'm having the same problem as Tony did. I've made correct inputs and i get the following message:

The server responded with an error. Account: 'my.inbox.com', Server: 'my.inbox.com', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR Syntax error, command unrecognized', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC90

It's been 9 hours since i've enbled POP3 on inbox.com. Whas Tony's problem in the end the fact he didn't wait long enough for it to be enabled or the SMTP? I've tried toying with my SMTP by changing it to one of my service provider instead of my.inbox and nothing.

Thanks for any help.
