Redirecting Sky Yahoo emails to outlook on my desktop/mobile.

[Pebble+1]

Set this up a while back and was working ok but now having intermittent messages appearing  stating that my Sky 2 account settings are out of date and another which states that my drivers are out of date. Have Sky got an email address so that I can request the Outlook IMAP settings?

Is the redirect still working ok? I suspect the 'update' messages are not genuine, but an attempt to scam you.

I agree with @Mark39 over those mail you are being sent as they get posted about on here frequently so mark them as spam should you be sent anymore and keep doing this so they get deleted.

Many thanks Mark for getting back to me. Mail direct is working but at times, the send/receive request, does not function and a synchronising error message is displayed. I then have to keep trying or restart my computer.

The error message that comes up that 'my Sky 2 settings are out of date' are not by way of an email but a 'pop up' that appears on the bottom right of my screen and then the message disappears after a short while.

How would I look into this more or shall I just ignore?

I suspect the pop-up is being generated by the app or client you're using. I can't see where else it could be coming from.

You could check your settings against those shown in the 'other email apps' dropdown in Sky's help guide here: https://www.sky.com/help/home/sky-yahoo-mail/setting-up-yahoo-mail/articles/getting-started-with-sky...

The fact the message mentions sky2, it sounds like you may have set it up twice in your client. once correctly and once with incorrect settings. Check the accounts set up in your client (possibly Outlook?) and remove the one called sky 2.
