Re: Outlook 2010, POP3, Cogeco and Windows 8 Use Windows Live Mail offered under Microsoft's "Windows Live Essentials" if Outlook isn't working. It's true Microsoft dropped the ball on their mail program and not allowing POP accounts to work under it, but I do know Cogeco can't support MS Outlook programs either (trust me, I tried with them).
But if you're stuck with Outlook, here's what I know.
Incoming Settings:
Server: pop.cogeco.ca
Username: myname@cogeco.ca
Password
Port 110
SSL OFF (VERY IMPORTANT HERE!)
Outgoing Settings
Server: smtp.cogeco.ca
Port 25
SSL OFF
Please note: Do not enter username/password if given the option.
Those are all the "correct" settings for cogeco email setup. |

| I can't think of any reason why Outlook 2010 wouldn't work in Windows 8. I've been using Outlook in Win 7 with Cogeco for years without any major problem and can't imagine this not being the case in Windows 8. Your suggested settings are correct, although I'm puzzled as to why you would believe the account settings doesn't require a username and password (or perhaps you're only referring to the outgoing server)? |

Re: Outlook 2010, POP3, Cogeco and Windows 8 Turns out it was a configuration issue. Likely password from what I can decipher. He did tell me that he let it (outlook) do its automatic configuration. That worked. He thinks he specifed smtp authentication and possibly the wrong password.
What's more disconcerting to me was that he was told by Cogeco support that Windows 8 doesn't support pop3 for Outlook. From researching this on the Internet there does appear to be a lot of misinformation on the subject. It doesn't with the included email client. The good news is that it does support Outlook and POP3 if you have the right settings 
Thanks for your help. |

RFC 3207, February 2002
RFC 3848, July 2004
RFC 4422, June 2006
RFC 4954, July 2007
SMTP Auth has been around for quite a while. In internet time, 12 generations.
Don't hold your breath. People have been bellyaching to Cogeco about this for years, to no avail.

I'll ask in the Start forum, but it's moot for me anyway.
I don't use ISP email addresses or servers, ever.

| I'm not sure I'm in the right forum.
I've been forever trying to help my wife with her cogeco webmail address using Outlook 2010 with Windows 7 home premium and windows 7 ultimate.
I've tried on two separate laptops.
We used all the settings taken from the Cogeco site
We're able to receive mail but can't send mail.
We tried them on the phone and they tell us that they do not give support for Outlook 2010
Any suggestions? |
|
| said by Klocks:Any suggestions? The only idea I can come up with (assuming you are on a Cogeco connection when you try sending), is that you might be trying to log into the SMTP server, which isn't required. Make sure you're not using a username and password for the SMTP server. |
|
| Thanks for the reply
No, the location where we are using the computer has Bell as thier ISP |

You need to use Bell's SMTP server for the outgoing. Ask in the Bell forum for an SMTP server she can use that doesn't require authentication, I think my notes are outdated. |
