This is what my setting are for Sympatico POP3. I'm probably on a different server, but it might work. I know they use some sort of weird settings.

1) how do i unblock facebook from my email. (I forgot my password O_O and need the recovery email) 2) Does anyone know how to connect to the sympatico.pop8 account through Windows Live mail. for me it is pop8.sympatico.ca and it asks for a user name and password. What do i put into those fields? it defaults to the first part of my email (nraku) for the username, and defaults to a password. when i click ok to synch with the hotmail, it gives me a account info error. so i tried many different user names and passwords (a combination of the ones i use) and still it isn't connecting. Does anyone know how to fix this? |

1) Just check the spam inbox. 2) The username is probably your full email. e.g. "nraku@sympatico.ca". The password is most likely the password for the main account for your ISP email (whoever signed up for email first). |

Try playing with the settings beside the check box that says "My server requires authentication" under Outgoing Mail Server. I think I remember doing something in there back when I had Sympatico. Also, if you uncheck the SSL check boxes it may work. I remember I had to do something funny like that to make it work. |

Did you try pop8.sympatico.ca or pophm.sympatico.ca as the server? I also used to have to use some rediculous port number. I'll try finding it somewhere. |
