iol.ie sending e-mail -any issues

lartsa

Hi,

Anybody out there using an iol.ie e-mail address?

I can receive e-mails on mine, but I cannot send since late February.

If it works for you can you confirm your outbound server.

Getting a Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0E

I restored my PC back to a time when it was working but it made no difference

Sending is to do with your ISP not IOL.ie - diagnose with them.

Hi,

I have already spent a considerable amount of time on to '3' support.

They say the issue is at my end.

That is why I am just asking is it working for others

Also to inspire confidence they have given me three different answers for the outgoing mail server to use

mail.iol.ie
smtp.o2.ie
smtp.iol.ie

All wrong.

mail-relay.3ireland.ie

I thought IOL was part if BT Ireland???? Why asking 3 about it??

no joy on mail-relay.3ireland.ie - does this work for you for outbound iol.ie mails?

I had the OP's problem, but it fixed itself after about an hour or two.

The outgoing mail goes through your broadband provider - it is only the incoming mail that goes through the BT's pop.iol.ie server.

BT provide support for iol through their Belfast office- and they are very helpful anytime I have needed to call them.

for reference

There was an issue at '3's end, and it is now resolved

The correct server is smtp.o2.ie
