How do I get Sky email portlet to work?

Question

Error initialising email portlet

Answer 1

If you mean how do you set up your sky email on your home pc's outlook then in Outlook

Choose Tools - email accounts - Select 'Add a new e-mail account' - select 'POP3'
You'll then be presented with a screen to enter your email details.

Most is pretty obvious such as name and email address (this is your [e-mail]).
I'm sure you know your password.

The server Information section is what sky for some reason dont want to give out
but its :

Incoming mail server = pop.sky.com
Outgoing mail server = smtp.sky.com

Once you entered all this you can opt to test the settings or just click next to finish

Answer 2

If it's anything like my Sky e-mail, it will only work periodically. Their server seems to be 'down' an awful lot. But don't try to get through to technical support because you'll be on the phone for 45 minutes! (In a queue)

I wish I'd never bothered switching to them.
