Problem with E-Mail

    Internet is working fine via Vodafone DSL line.
    After years of trouble free e-mail mine has now stopped working.
    It started yesterday when I could sent but not recieve e-mails. This morning everythting was back to normal but now I cannot send or receive any e-mails.
    I have looked at the server settings and they seem good, I have done a sysyem restore to no avail. I have gone into the Eircom server and cleared out all the Webmail messages in cast there was some large file causing the problem but that did nothing. Any suggestions or do we have any technical support for broadband from Vodafone. ??
    I looked at their website but cant see anyhting about support for e-mail.
    Thanks for any advice

    You won't be able to use mail2.eircom.net as an outgoing smpt server (for sending) if you're on Vodafone broadband. You need to use Vodafone's, whatever it's address is.

    Thanks for that, the problem seems to have resolved itself when I switched on just now. Maybe there was some server problem, just got to hope for the best.
    Thanks for the reply

    It seems recently that vodafone have been stopping any smtp servers other than their own.
    So if you are a vodafone dsl customer, I'd recommend you use smtp.vodafone.ie on port 25

    Incoming email should not be affected generally
