Hi,

I have been using the alert feature with email without any issue in Logic 8. Then recently, it stopped working...no changes to settings were made. The error msg I get is: "The transport failed to connect to the server. Check your server name or address". Since I first noticed the issue, I have tried the following:

1. I upgraded to Logic 9 (finally...sorry). This did nothing (for this problem...the upgrade is great). I get the same error.
2. I have tried 3 different email servers that I have accounts with. None work. So, I do not think the problem is with my email accounts.
3. I have tried each email server with and without a port number that I know works in the server address (e.g. smtp.emailserver.com:123). When things were working perfectly, I did not need to specify a port in the address I was using, but I tested this anyway.

My machine is an HP Pavillion running Windows 8 (no hardware changes from when the emails were working (for about 10 months) to now.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
