Email Help
Hello,
I’m setting up Embarqmail on Outlook using a Gateway All-in-One, running Win 365 and Windows 10 in S Mode. (My mother-in-law lost everything in the Kissimmee flood). Previously she had CenturyLink Internet service and used Embarqmail for email. She cancelled her CenturyLink service two weeks ago. I read that Embarqmail can be accessed via Outlook, so I was able to get it working to point of sending mail, but am unable to receive email or see any email history/details from before she left her flooded apartment. I’m sure Win 10 S Mode is the problem. If I move out of S Mode to make the required changes, there is no return to S Mode. From my reading, it appears that I may need to install a new computer security app. Any recommendations? Thank you for your help. Nate |

I use ProtonMail. Secure, no spam and can be accessed anywhere without any setup. It is a great mail provider and free.

Can you access her mail by logging into her account using a browser (and not outlook) at embarqmail.com/login? If you are not able to login via browser, i suspect it is because you have cancelled your CenturyLink account If you are able to login, then I would try the various outlook IMAP settings suggested on the web (you can find via a google search). The incoming and outgoing servers (and ports) are different and must be specified individually. Google search results implies that maybe CenturyLink is limiting your access |

Thank you!
Appreciate the replies.
daniel200, you are correct, it looks like her embarqmail was deleted/removed, when she canceled the CenturyLink account. As it turns out, there was nothing special in her old email, so we made her a new email account on a different platform, which now works with no problem. Thanks again and have a great rest of the week! |
