On Saturday morning 27 June 2026 I tried to login my Orcon email account via Thunderbird (which I have been using for a long time). But my login didn't work, I got a message saying "login to POP3.orcon.net.nz with username habitation failed." On 30th June 2026 I reported the problem to Orcon.
Orcon gave me the following settings for Thunderbird. I have done that and even made a new account:
Incoming Server Type: IMAP
Mail Server: imap.orcon.net.nz
Port: 143
SSL: Off
Authentication: On (username and password required)
Outgoing SMTP Server:
Mail Server: smtp.orcon.net.nz
Port: 25
SSL: Off
Authentication: Off
Since then I have spent many hours and going around in circles with Orcon's Technical Support to resolve this, but no luck. They blame Thunderbird. I used Thunderbird Troubleshoot Mode. The message that comes up reads: login to server mail orcon.net.nz with username habitation failed.
Please can you check that your server settings above are correct? And if there is a bug?
