Imap Email changes
Our IMAP servers have recently been upgraded as part of the move to Exchange 2010.
Email access through the IMAP protocol will still work, but may require that you amend your settings, or on older clients, setup your account again.
Below is a link to our guide on settings for Mobile Email devices. Please scroll down to the IMAP settings and ensure your settings match.
As noted, on older clients you may have to setup the IMAP account again before it will send and receive successfully.

Unable to access secure websites using ASUS Laptops with Jmicron cards
We have noticed an issue where users running ASUS machines with Jmicron network cards are unable to access certain web sites which require a secure connection. (My Exeter, Hotmail etc).
We have found a solution to this, which requires that you change a setting under your Jmicron card. To do this:
Click on the Start button on the lower left hand side of the screen, go to Control Panel -> Device Manager (If you do not see Device Manager, make sure that "view by" small icons is selected in top right hand side of the screen).
In Device Mananger expand Network Adaptors and right click and select "properties" on "JMicron PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Adapter". Click "Advanced" tab. Select: "Receive Side Scaling" and change value to "Disabled." Click okay and restart your web browser. This should fix the connection errors.
