5. VERY IMPORTANT! All this information is how your computer talks to the servers.

  • Incoming Mail Server - POP3
  • Incoming mail - mail
  • Outgoing mail - mail
  • Account Name - what ever you picked
  • Password - what ever yours is.

6. Click on CONNECTION TAB. Its possible yours may look different here. Simply make sure you have it set to CONNECTING to a NETWORK or LAN. As long as this is checked you are fine.  Any software you setup should always be setup to connect to a LAN for @HOME

7. Click on SECURITY TAB. Make sure nothing is checked here.

8. Click ADVANCED TAB Make sure everything is unchecked.

  • Outgoing Mail - 25
  • Incoming Mail - 110

9. Click APPLY then OK Send your self a a test message and see if it comes in. Remember you have to hit the button SEND/REC in order to retrieve your mail

If all your settings are correct and your still not getting mail then its possible the @Home Mail Servers are down. I would wait 1 day and see if they come back on-line. If still no mail one day later I would then call tech support. When calling tech support make sure you tell the technician to make a ticket so they have something recorded that you called.
