Dear all, Some members have been having trouble receiving emails from Templot Club. This mainly applies to free email providers such as Hotmail, etc. They make their own rules about which sites to block, allegedly for sending spam. It seems that the Data 1 servers have recently been blocked by Hotmail -- for no reason that anyone can determine.  There is no easy solution to this, because even if we get the block lifted now, it could be imposed again in a few days time, without warning or explanation. As an alternative, I can offer Templot users a free mailbox on templot-users.co.uk This is hosted on the same Data 1 servers as Templot Club, so there is no risk that emails from Templot Club will ever be blocked. As a Templot user you can have an email address and 10MB of mailbox space to use for Templot Club emails. You can fetch your emails via POP3 in your usual email program, or view them as webmail if you prefer. By using this address for your Templot Club emails you are guaranteed not to miss any. You are welcome to use the same address for other forums such as RMweb (also on Data1, so emails similarly guaranteed), but it's not intended as a general replacement email address for everything. 10MB wouldn't be enough for that anyway. If you are interested please email me ( martin@templot.com ) and I will set it up for you and send you the account settings required for your email program. regards, Martin. |

One taker so far.  Here is the email I have sent him, which may help to explain how this works: > Do I have to download anything and would I have to lose > my Hotmail account or not? No you don't have to download anything and you don't lose your Hotmail account. You should go on using it just the same as now for everything except Templot Club emails. The new email mailbox is only for emails from Templot Club (and other forums such as RMweb, YMR etc., if you wish). I have created a new mailbox and email address for you: ...@templot-users.co.uk If you wish to use it, on Templot Club go to your Profile and change your email address to the above. You can click here to go to your Profile page: http://85a.co.uk/forum/my_account.php?edit_profile=1 Change the email address to that shown above and then click Save at the bottom. Your emails from Templot Club will then go to your new mailbox. To read them, you can either use webmail, or collect them in an email program such as Outlook Express or Windows Mail. _________________ 1. To read them using webmail, go to: http://templot-users.co.uk/webmail/ (make this a Bookmark/Favourite) Then Login on there using these details: email: ...@templot-users.co.uk password: .......... After logging in you will see that you have a choice of 3 different programs in which you can read your mail. The easiest one to use is Squirrel Mail, so I suggest you click on the Squirrel picture. You will then see a list of your emails, which you can click to read. You have 10MB of storage on there. But it will soon fill up, so delete your old emails after a few days to make sure there is always room for new ones. _________________ or 2. To collect your emails in an email program such as Outlook Express or Windows Mail, create a new email account using these settings (copy and paste them): Incoming Mail Server: mail.templot-users.co.uk Outgoing Mail Server: mail.templot-users.co.uk (tick the box for Server Requires Authentication) User Name (Account Name): ...+templot-users.co.uk Password: ........... ___________________ Let me know if you need more help with any of the above. regards, Martin. |
