    I think it's just how eircom set up their system. You must be on an eircom network to use smtp email access. But receiving email on outlook should be possible. Can you log in to eircom email fine on the browser?

    you've capitals in there. Not sure if it'll make a difference but use small letters:
    smtp.upcmail.ie
    mail2.eircom.net

    Eircom free: mail2.eircom.net
    Eircom subscription: mail1.eircom.net

    Sorry the above are smtp eircom settings. As I said make sure you're using lower case letters for webmail and upc

    ah. Maybe it's a more wide spread issue. I cant test this unfortunately as I dont have an eircom email account. Can any other boardsies test this out?

    Microsoft Office outlook

    I deleted the account on their already and added same one bout 3 times but it still comes up with error...

    gone through each setting with fine tooth comb and its returning error...
    wont send email
    would UPC have it blocked or something ?? its the only thing I can think of ?
