Hi @smith1,

I'm sorry about this. Microsoft has made changes which have affected Pop3 email clients. Please see more information on this below:

Click the account of type POP/SMTP (Default) and click Change.
Click More Settings.
Click the Advanced tab.
Make sure SSL is not used and POP3 port is 110 (default). Click OK.

Is there a solution for this that works? I have wasted so long trying to check settings etc - got on the phone to BT and told this problem has been ongoing since October and there is such a backlog of affected customers now that we might want to consider moving email hosting to another provider! This is because BT has made such a mess of this, they don't think it will be sorted before August!!! Absolutely astounding that a company the size of BT is just shrugging its corporate shoulders and saying 'go elsewhere'...
