  • Hi I stopped receiving email on my iphone 4s last Tuesday, I did not change any settings, confirmed again the password but still nothing. My incoming settings is pop3.live.com, server port 995 (you mention 993 I tried to change it but the message back was that the pop3.live server is not responding) i retyped my passwords hundred times now, user name is my email so it is correct and I am just so frustrated. I do not know how to sort it out. I would be very grateful if someone could help me. Best Regards Agnieszka
