Ye

Seems to work fine form BT website, thing is i havn't changed any of the account settings in Outlook so i can't see why its playing up.

Just checked my Desktop PC and it seems fine so for some reason the problem is only on the laptop.

In that case you've answered your own question.

Maybe it's a firewall problem. I normally find a reboot of the computer cures it.

Just done that and it's sorted it.

Normally just put laptop into hibernate because it takes an age to boot up normally.
