Hi Wayne
Just an update. Looks like IINET had port 995 blocked to prevent potential incoming spam into their webservers. They nicely unblocked it for me, and now its all working fine.
Thanks again for promptly getting back to me.
Problem Solved
Cheers
Craig

Dear Wayne. Many thanks for your reply.
I tried every combination of ports I can think of, as well as 995 and it still times out. The Postie settings actually recommends 110 for POP and using 110 in Outlook works.
Can you think of any other reason I may be stalled. I have spent a lot of time trying to get it to work so would not like to lose my investment.
Is there a specific question I can ask my provider IINET?
Do you think that my host provider IINET’s server uses LINUX is an issue (.. Outlook works fine though)
many thanks
Craig

ps : Config test output when I tried setting up as IMAP (again which was working fine in Outlook..)
