I keep getting the message: (IMAP) an attempt to connect to [email protected] failed. This could eb caused by temporay server unavailability or incorrect settings. I keep lettying it fix the settings but they still don’t work. Please help.
You can disable your anti-virus application, then try again.
That did allow me to get my emails off the server. Thank you. Will I have to do that every time? That would be risky wouldn’t it?
You should be able to configure your anti-virus application to allow eM Client to pass through. It will either be the application or the port.
To find out which port eM Client is using, go to Menu > Tools > Accounts and click on the IMAP tab. It is usually port 993.
I’m having the same problem, but with my POP3/SMTP settings. Before this week, I have never had a problem sending messages to people. It has only been lately that I have been experiencing failed sends to three particular parties. The information below is from the most recent, taken from the ‘failure log - detail’). My husband can send without problems. We compared our settings, and they are different in several fields - however, there doesn’t seem to be a way to change my settings to mirror his. We’ve tried several things, but with no success.
Hoping someone has an answer. I’m beyond being frustrated.
(note: I am receiving emails just fine… or at least, I think I am. No one has complained.)

They refused to help me; told me to find a phone number for eM Client.
I worked on it and worked on it and FINALLY did something that made it work. Didn’t take notes, however, so I can’t say what was wrong. Thanks for your input Gary Curtin. At least someone made a suggestion. Blessings!
