Hello. My email hosting service, UK2.net, has changed it's servers. I've tried entering the new log in information to retrieve my emails according to the new IMAP details. I can't make the connection work. The mail servers don't seem to be recognised. I've included a screenshot of the connection page. Can anyone help? Paul.

I think part of the problem might be I don't know which authentication method to use?

Have you tried it with the full email id? It may resolve itself.

What are the specific details that UK2.net gave you? I have used self-hosted email in the past and have found that the provided details are sometimes incorrect.

All sorted by UK2. Thanks everyone
