Vista Home Premium problems
I need some help as this is really beginning to wind me up now.
My mums boss has just purchased 4 new computers all with Vista Home Premium and has asked me to set up all the email accounts on all the machines. Not a problem I thought, a quick half hour job. So got all the login details, entered all them correctly into "Windows Mail" and I am unable to connect to the server. OK I thought, I will disable Norton to see if that is blocking anything, still no joy so I downloaded thunderbird to see if that would work, still nothing. So I logged back in on the old xp pro machines and it works no problem with the same credentials. I have checked google and people recommend uninstalling Norton which I did and it still didn't work so if anyone has any advice it is greatly appreciated. Tom

Off the cuff: format c: and install XP
 Sensible answer: Windows Mail is seriously flaky I have found. Get hold of Outlook, outlook express or even thunderbird for mail as it's a lot more reliable.

Have you got TCP/IP connectivity? Can you ping or telnet to the mailserver you are trying to connect to?

Yep, they decided to install office 2007 and use outlook. Working like a dream now.
Are you having any problems with this too Toni?

No mine worked like a dream, I just found it didn't offer what I wanted like Office 2007 and I use that as well. I was going to see if I could help in any way.
Glad it's sorted now.
