How can I check the status of the POP3 mail servers?
To aid in troubleshooting connectivity errors when trying to access our POP3 servers, you can go to http://www.dnsstuff.com. Under the "Tracert" heading located in the right column, enter "pop.your-domain.com" (replace "your-domain.com" with your actual domain name, then press the "Tracert" button.
You will know that our POP3 servers are running when the last line of the trace route reads:
pop.everyone.net
[Reached Destination] (under the Hostname column)
We suggest that you run this test a few times in succession to verify that this server is available.
Note: This test will run a trace route from an arbitrary server on the internet to our servers. If the trace route is successful but you continue to get errors in connecting to our servers, you should check with your network administrator or your Internet Service Provider (ISP). top
