Windows 10
Centurylink DSL

Was working fine until mid July. Have had to check email on a different device since.
Found similar problem in multiple threads but unable to find solution. Turning off McAfee did not help.

What version are you using?
What error are you seeing?
8.0.3385 (83a873c)
[POP3] An attempt to connect to [my email] has failed. This could be caused by temporary server unavailability or incorrect settings.

I assume that you have double-checked the eMC account settings and they agree with the Embarqmail settings (https://www.ispsettings.info/centurylink/email/)?

Hi Heather…
Hope this helps
Clearly your account is live as you can check mail elsewhere.
I assume you are in the USA

yes I did that. thank you.
Ugh. I was hopeful. But I made sure that all matched, restarted emclient, and I’m still getting the same error. Any other suggestions?
Thanks!

Hi Heather…
Strange, do you have a Free or Pro version of EMC?

Hi Heather…
Thanks for your reply.
Just to clarify…
Are you aware you can only have a maximun of 2 accounts with the Free version.
Further that…
You cannot use the Free version for any commercial activity that helps you
make profit, the Free license cannot, therefore, be used in any company
settings or on a personal computer for business correspondence.

That shouldn’t be a problem. I think I only have the one account for occasional personal use at home. It was working fine until mid July. Do you have any other suggestions!

Have you tried deleting and re-creating the email account on eMC?
