No emails in inbox, emails sticking in out box

[Skemmer]

Problem solved. For an  unknown reason the avanced account settings were showing port numbers in the entry intended for the server name. ie. :993:1. Updating with the correct server names in an out allowed the emails to function again. I am just an average user and have no idea how these were entered. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the info, the server settings you show were entered and emails are being sent.

Just to confirm, the incoming port numbers aren't wrong as some mail services will require them to work as intended.

For example: Windows Mail

Windows Mail IMAP server settings for TalkTalk Mail

Your description of mail sitting in the outbox was because your outgoing mail wasn't being authenticated for sending.

If you need specific help then let us know what email software version and device operating system you're using.
