cs-1?

I'm sorry, I missed putting the Link in for the pdf I was quoting.
http://www.1-cs.com/smtpauth/SMTP.pdf
It tells how to set up the OE to work on Charter, (maybe).
Mike



I have no idea who cs-1 is. But the page mentions Outlook 2000 and
Microsoft Outlook Express 6 so I would have to guess it is even older than
the link I had.

Is it working now? I have a new link:
http://www.charter.com/customers/Sup...ArticleID=1661

If that doesn't help, I would give Charter support a call.

The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'Home', Server:
'smtp.charter.net',
Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10060,
Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

I didn't follow up on the 1-cs lead because I noted the email address
must be changed to a name @1-cs.com.

At this point I'm looking for a free email address that will work in OE.
Mike



I setup OE for charter email.
pop.charter.net
smtp.charter.net
Email worked fine for two days, then I had the following symptom.
I could not send email, I found that I had an email trapped in the
outbox that would not send. I deleted the email in the outbox, and I
received email as normal. Webmail works fine.
Charter doesn't support OE. They won't help.
I found the following pdf that has,
"directions to setup an SMTP authentication in your emal program"
It uses mail.cs-1.com for incoming mail and smtp.charter.net
for outgoing mail. Then you must check the box for "My server requires
Authentication" Also you must check another box in the outgoing mail
server window. "use same settings as my incoming mail server"

I would like some input about the information before I try it.
Thanks, Mike

Just found out if I use Outgoing Mail Server port 465, I can receive mail
but it takes 20 seconds trying to send the outging first.
The outgoing mail doesn't get sent.

Do you get a new error message when sending now? (P.S. When you change
your From Name in the middle of a thread, some people may ignore the post
as it appears that someone else is hijacking your thread).

I just ran across something new to me.
I am trying to get my mothers computer working for her.
So I have her computer on my cable system (Knology).
I'm trying to use the charter.net mail system through the
knology internet provider.
Could that be the problem?
