    Have any users out there had trouble with eircom.net 'mail over the last few months? Having to refresh repeatedly to log on or open a folder etc. (Or maybe this annoyance is just specific to my own account.)

    it was happening to me everyday last week. it would just stop and go back at /auth2.php etc....

    no amount of cache refreashing and machine swapping would help

    seems ok now tho

    to combat this, siomply open up your yahoo account for example., and add your mail2.eircom.net account to the POP settings

    very usefull when it all goes wobbly at eirom, no surprise there then :)

    thanks for the tip.

    presume that this works from MS Outlook on a LAN as well?

    but what is SMTP server?? (and specifically in instance of eircom.net)

    Both the incoming (POP3) and outgoing (SMTP) mail server setting in your client should usually be set to mail1.eircom.net (or mail2.eircom.net as a backup if mail1 is out of action) if using Eircom Net.

    Yeah that eircom webmail has always been slightly weird about loading up your mail box... I've gotten stuck on that auth2.php a couple of times... weird.

    Can anyone provide a step by step way of changing my mail server client to mail1.eircom.net. Out of the blue last week my drivers show as corrupt even though diags show they are fine. the problem seems to lie with the inbound and outbound ping requests for the mail2eircom... (can't remember exactly what it is since i'm away from my laptop). can't access the internet at all. everything in my network connections folder seems to have been deleted except for this dial-up thing which I have never used. Hopefully someone can help.
