Afternoon all,
The title says it all really but I think it may have something to do with a recently installed a VPN even though that is switched off. Any advice?
Paul.

If you think its the VPN, then uninstall it and retest.

But some simple things to check:
In your browser, check to see if you use a proxy. Did you use one before? Remove or add in as needed.

Is your Email on a internet server or in a corporate environment?

Can you resolve external DNS names? PING www.google.com and you should see it resolve to an ip.

Have you tried another browser?

CimmerianX thanks for your prompt response. E-mail is on an internet server, I can connect to the internet with the VPN enabled but not without.
