I'm wanting to retrieve my nildram mails using TB.

I've used the imap method and have the following settings in place:

I'v opened all the relevent ports and it won't connect, what am I doing wrong?

Well according to the Nildram support pages

http://www.nildram.net/support/section/imap/1/

their "IMAP" server is "pop3.gotadsl.co.uk"- rather unintuitive but worth a shot I'd say

Thanks for that, but that didn't work either :confused:

And under my account mail and on their other support page, over *Here* it says on #5:

Set the mail server type to IMAP and enter the incoming server address as imap.gotadsl.co.uk and the outgoing address as smtp.gotadsl.co.uk

Ah Nildram. Right. It seems you need a specific account type to have IMAP. The million dollar question now is, do you have that account type?

There's no option to select specific accounts as such, so based upon assumption they must support IMAP.

But that link posted earlier by MOKUJ1N says that IMAP is only available with DSLMail. Check the first line of text here.

Look at the image above ^^

Pop3 isn't working either :confused:

Their status page shows no workings in the progress and google didn't help much.

Bumpty bump

Had previously disabled both SP2 firewall and Nod32 AV and still no luck.
