    Default Now computer not receiving emails

    I can't believe the amount of bad luck I'm having, firstly with my iPhone 5, now my computer. It's stopped receiving emails. I believe Telstra changed the way their MAIL worked, now known as New Telstra Mail. Could this be my problem? I have a Telstra printout showing how to set up an iPhone account but not for a computer.

    Where do I start? I receive emails on my iPhone without a problem.

    Try one of the links on this page
    https://www.telstra.com.au/support/c...blet-or-mobile

    You didn't say what OS or program you use for your mail so I couldn't be more specific

    Hi Rick, that link doesn't seem to work.

    Sorry, my operating system is win10 and I'm using Outlook.

    Just checked the link and it seems fine
    anyway here is what it says for outlook 2016

    This page will help you set up Telstra Mail on Outlook 2016.
    Outlook is a registered trademark of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or other countries.
    Before you start

    You'll need your Telstra email username and password.
    Note: The setup and use of your email account may incur data use charges.
    Step 1
    Open Microsoft Outlook 2016 and open the Files menu
    Step 2
    On the Info tab, select Account Settings and then select Account Settings
    Step 3
    To create a new email configuration select New
    Step 4
    Select Manual setup or additional server types and then select Next
    Step 5
    Select IMAP and then select Next
    Step 6
    Input the following

    • User information: Your name and full Telstra Mail email address
    • Logon information: Your full Telstra Mail email address and password
    • Log on using Secure Password Authentication (SPA): Unticked

    Step 6
    Update the Server Information for your mailbox as follows:

    • Account type: IMAP
    • Incoming mail server: imap.telstra.com
    • Outgoing mail server (SMTP): smtp.telstra.com
    • Mail to keep offline: User defined (all by default)

    Step 7
    Then, select More Settings and input the following details
    Outgoing Server Tab

    • My outgoing server SMTP requires authentication: Ticked
    • Use same settings as my incoming mail server: Selected

    Advanced Tab: Server Port Numbers

    • Incoming server (IMAP): 993
    • Use the following type of encrypted connection: SSL
    • Outgoing server (SMTP): 465
    • Use the following type of encrypted connection: SSL

    Step 8
    Select Ok and then Next. Microsoft Outlook will now test the email settings. Once successfully completed, select Close. The email setup is now complete, select Finish then Close

    Hope this helps

    Rick

    I went through the settings and found account details "repair"

    Clicked on that and it worked, emails are back, thanks for all the input.
