Title: I think my Pipex email address might have finally died :(
Post by: Bowdon on September 16, 2020, 06:38:59 PM

I have a program that regularly checks my emails and I also have it setup for my only isp-connected email address from pipex.

I was on Pipex before I moved to Bethere. So I've had it many years.

I'm wondering if its in any way connected to the Demon email closure mentioned in another thread, as both companies worked closely together.

The email address must be around 15? I left Pipex before Tiscali came in, and that was in 2007. According to wiki Pipex itself closed in 2008

Thanks for that link!  :)

It helped a lot. I managed to get it back working again. Apparently they have moved from POP3 to IMAP.

I also noticed that any yahoo email accounts that we use a program for needs a one-off code too. Yahoo have sent a message around to everyone.

All that took me an hour to sort all my accounts out lol
