Telkom Internet Confusion

Ok then, let's cover the other bases.

The webmail domain is really just a way to read your email online. You'll log in with your email username and password

The SMTP and POP3 data goes into the email client on your PC (such as Outlook, Outlook Express or Windows Mail) if you deal with your email that way, along with the email log-in details.

Just a warning on the SMTP settings - they'll work fine if you're connected via a Telkomsa ISP account, but won't work if you happen to be connecting to the internet by a non-Telkom ISP account at the time.

Thanks again Dave. All issues now resolved after Telkom fixed their problem. Needless to say I am still awaiting their call after I logged a fault.
By the way, I read in the UK newspapers today that the LOWEST AVERAGE internet speed there is 1.7MB/s. We are SOOOO far behind the real world, but I am pinning my hopes on what that nice Mr. Zooma said in Parliament earlier this year, that SA would soon be offering internet speeds compatible to the rest of the world. He wouln't lie, would he?
