Email Problems, What Did I Do Wrong?

[Dween Bean]

Hi:
I read your sticky note and followed your directions. POP & SMTP settings are for me: mail.epgusa.com I set up info@epgusa.com through the control panel new mail account. (my account with you is Electric Paintbrush Gallery, Edwina Haddad) I created a new e-mail account in Netscape and set the username to: info@epgusa.com
When I tried to send a test e-mail I got this error message: could not send because connecting to SMPT server mail.epgusa.com failed. I checked the default port setting. It is port 25. I ran the current IP ADDRESS test for my IP 4.152.111.157 through the chicken IP site and got the following:
While trying to retrieve the URL NONE://83.140.172.115.80http://www.robtex.com/4.152.111.157.html the following error was encountered:
Zero Sized Reply
Squid did not receive any data for this request, cache administrator is

Have you ticked the "Server needs authentication" box in your email client?

I want to make my email addresses on my web page go to send message. and connect with my msn email account. Is this a pop3 function? Which video do I need to study?

Nothing.. create the hyperlink mailto:you@yourdomain.com and it will send
you a email when they click on it.

I guess I didn't understand. I thought I did as you said. but with the URL set to circuspet.com it just goes back to my index http://www.circuspet.com/aboutus.html If there is nothing wrong with what you see,what could it be? URL? Control panel? Not enough fish in my diet?

Yes, I did that and it made no difference. Could it be that the username you assigned me was epguacom yet my e-mail account is set up for info@epgusa.com. Still looking for the solution to my problem.

Circuspet:

The link should be "mailto" type, not "http" type. In the URL field type in, after the "mailto:" your email address.

You must use the password and username that you have set for your email account.

In your Outlook Express settings, Tools, Accounts, select the account, Properties, Server, last box at the bottom: Server requires authentication. Tick it.
