Sue, I notice in your message that you state, My incoming server
pop.orangehome.co.uk. Should that not be pop3 and not pop on it's own? Just a
thought.

Your POP3 Server name is correct, do *not* change that as was proposed
earlier!

Go to tools>accounts>select your Orange account>properties>advanced
tab>change the Incoming server port to 110 and remove the checkmark from
SSL>OK/Apply.

Why did you change the port numbers, have you been trying to set up a gmail
account?
