Terribly sorry, Rhyanon... don't know how to help you, but to suggest maybe: 1. recheck your settings in the game i.e. any spaces? 2. check that you do not need a pw for smtp outgoing 3. maybe redly doesn't have his email set up right in his settings, and your email is going to someone else? 4. send manually if all else fails... sorry Glad to see this game is moving on... looking forward to it... remember it's a cton with benchmark scoring

I have Mailwasher Pro too and AVG. I usually only have Mailwasher running most of times and it fetches mail from my Mail Provider every 10 min, means it shows me what is there. Is it just spam I tell it to delete it right away at the mail provider, is it a real mail I tell it to prozess it and it opens Outlook automatically and that does download the mail to my pc then. I cannot send emails from Outlook unless I have the Mailwasher running as link between it and my mail provider. So I am almost sure, that I have not the correct settings there. I will look into it. I set up a test-pbem and experiment a little. Till then I keep sending the saves manually. Emperor, I check that with the smtp-pw. When it works with you, it will work with me too finally Rhyanon

Wow, Thats quite a coincidence that we use both of those programs. Although you use mailwasher a little differently than I do, I am pretty sure that it wouldn't effect Civ4--since it doesnt monitor other programs--it just does what it does and thats it. AVG, on the otherhand, does monitor programs and could be the cause for our troubles. Anyone else use AVG email scanner? Redlly

I have my AVG set to not scan outgoing emails, only incoming emails.
Anyway, I think I know what the problem is:
6.At the end turn, the game gives you a "Don't send/OK" dialog if you have entered a email and smtp server. Also here is two fields that give you the option to enter a smtp username and and password. If you didn't enter a email/smtp the game just gives you a simple message that the game has been saved for you to manually email it. When you click OK the game emails the save, and displays a message that indicates that it has successfully sent the save to "player@player.net"
that's from CS. Now I cannot remember anymore if I ever got that screen. But there lies the fault and I need to know how to access this screen. Emperor set my smtp server wrong while setting up the game for all and I corrected it in the screen that is accessible with ALT+D, where I can also set my pw. But the mistake is in the next screen, where I give the next repcient's email and my smtp-server with pw again. How can I access this screen to change things? What's the shortcut for it?
Help, help, help please lol

A little update I searched now many threads in german forums and in one was advised to take the smtp server from your ISP instead your Email-provider. When trying to send via my Email-provider I kept getting the message that username and password would not be correct. They were correct I set up a test pbem with me as next player for my yahoo account. I could sent the save there without any problems. Redly maybe that could be a solution for your problem too. Next turn I will sent it that way. Cross your fingers that it works Rhyanon (sorry for spamming this thread, I hate unsolved problems).

Hey Rhyanon... Sorry for setting the original settings wrong LOL, about the ISP... thought everyone knew that I though I or CS mentioned that smtp was your isp server, not your email server... like a hotmail account or something... sorry for the confusion, I will try to make it clearer next time I run into this problem! ;D

3850_BC to Redly with the ingame-mail feature!!!!!!!!! Redly: let me know, if you don't receive it please. @hazel: corncering the bug with the 2 Hazels or Rhyanons. You have two possibilities to load a pbem-save. 1. Load it by doubleclicking the save will automatically start CIV4 pbem, in this case you get the two Hazels, that is a bug, but doesn't influence your game, since the other Hazel still is Emperor, it's only wrong written in the game. 2. Loading up CIV4 pbem and then load the save will give you the right names for each player. So when it confuses you, use this method. Maybe it gets fixed in a patch. emperor: Nope, noone mentioned what smtp ist the correct one. And since POP and SMTP are always associated with Email it is not so obvious to take the SMTP from the ISP instead the Email-Provider. @cs. Don't forget to suggest a little button to the devs to turn off or on the spinning globe. I want to play real mp games too All I wanted to say was that save to Redly was sent ;D

I'm loading my games manually and still getting the repeating names, so thats not entirely correct. Move made and sent to Hazel Redly

Got and sent to canuck.
I can not load from in game cant see the files for some reason. I can only double click the file and it automatically goes but good to know that everything is ok even with the 2 names.
Also is this a ladder game with reports or just for fun 1st email game thing?

Oh you got the automatic?! EXCELLENT! ;D ;D ;D I will send in-game then from now on. So I guess the AVG email scanner was the culprit.

No redly sorry for the confusion.
I recieved both but can only load the manual.
Please send manual 3750 again. Thanks. Also sent you a reply email.
I am sure the culprit is that I never have had a address setup to be sent to automatically.
