E Mail help ???

[ozziedog]

One brainy person required or I`ll be on the phone to our friends in India My email has suddenly plonked a pop up on there that appears every time I want to send or receive an email ??? Thats says,,,,
logon to pop.3. Blueyonder.co.uk
Please verify that both the username and password are correct for your mail server,, then there`s a piccy of a marigold (we like piccys usually) and then a box for your username and a box for my password, then a little tick box with remeber my credentials then an ok box and a cancel box.
I`ve tried my user name and password but it won`t go away :evil: So Do I have to ring trans continental ?? Or is there an easy way ??? Cheers in advance

Ozziedog,,,,,,,,, Just remember I`m puter pleb :mrgreen:

Reasons for pop up may be many...

For a temp fix ... and to avoid costly phone call... set up a different email, such as hotmail ... to do which: go to MSN.co.uk >>> press the hotmail icon (somewhere on the top right) >> follow instructions

Good luck

Keep an eye on your email. That is a classic trick to capture your email details. Someone may be using your email account to send millions of spam. If you have a web portal that you can change your password on, do it now. That'll stop them using the account. Then look at the issue with the popup.

What email program are you using or is it web mail?

My thoughts too.

Ozziedog, I suspect that you have been phished. Best advice is to change your email password if you can. If you can't, it may be too late and some sod may have control of your emails.

You can prevent popups by clicking a setting in your browser that blocks them. If you are over 40 (like me) this may sound gobbledegook, in which case find a spotty faced teenager and he/she will do it for you in a flash.
