Here are the settings in anycase

You will want to select POP3 as the mail account type (NOT IMAP).

Then here are your settings;

UN
Your full email address

PW
Your email password

-----------------------------------------

Your mail server settings are;

SSL

incoming port: 995

incoming server: hosting.youchoose.com.au

outgoing port: 465

outgoing server: hosting.youchoose.com.au

Note: the above settings (using SSL) generally are the most successful with Email Clients and ISPs.

Our recommended email solution however is Google Workspace and is a far superior and more robust service than our legacy Youchoose hosted pop3 email accounts for a multitude of reasons including client IP addresses getting blocked from our server due to failed pop3 login attempts.

You can order our Google Workspace service here. If your IP gets blocked from our server, our services appear offline to you (via your IP).

Swapping to an alternate IP (your mobile for instance) you should be able to then see our services (a good test to see if your IP is blocked). Going to our website (or your own website if it is hosted with us) should see the option to unblock your IP by submiting an 'anti robot' test.

Alternately, Office365 (O365) hosted via Microsoft is also a great solution and can refer on to one of our trusted referral partners for this service.

You can easily recover your .au domain password (EPP code) via this link;
AU Domain Password Recovery (opens in a new tab)

Domain Whois Lookup (opens in a new tab).
From here you can confirm that you are listed as the registrant (Name and Email Address) for the domain (and you should be). If not, please be sure to reach out to us.

Hope that helps.

If you do not know there is a fair chance you have your emails with us (POP3 email hosting)
To confirm, you could go to https://mxtoolbox.com/ and type your domain name, here are the common setups and their providers;

On the MX Toolbox site, after you type in your domain and clicked on the 'MX Lookup Button', the results appear in around 30 seconds.

In the results, if the IP Address field (in small print) includes the following words:
Microsoft: you on Office 365
Google: you on Google Workspace
your own domain name: your emails are hosted on the Youchoose Server on POP3

Hmm, if you can see your website but your POP3 emails are not working this would suggest that your IP address is not blocked from the server.
Suggest you go to your cPanel login -> email accounts and check that your email account is not full.
You can also access webmail via the 'more' button in your cPanel login -> email accounts area to check and clean out some emails.

THE PROBLEM IS WITH SITE ITSELF

Let's get some more information

Great work, you identified the problem is a local data issue!
Suggest you can try re-booting your modem and if you still have an issue you can follow it up with your ISP (internet service provider)

Hit the SUBMIT button so we have a record of this enquiry.

If your website comes up and looks fine using a diffrent ISP, it means the problem is related to the local wifi network (your local IP is perhaps blocked).
The ability of you being able to get to your site from your phone's mobile service is proof of there being no problem with the Youchoose Server

Looks like your website is broken.

The following are the restore points available;
- last night's back up
- the night before last night
- the 1st of this current calendar month
- the 1st of the previous calendar month
Account restores are not guaranteed.
Our Account Level Backups and Restores, however, have an extremely high success rate.
If your website is broken, this is usually the quickest method to get it back up.

Rather than just restoring your site from a backup however, suggest you have us checkover your site to try an ascertain why it broke. 

A CLIENT GETS LOCKED OUT OF SERVER (CANNOT ACCESS THEIR EMAILS / WEBSITE OR YOUCHOOSE WEBSITE)
The phone call typically starts with, is your server down, I cannot access anything!
We are always blocking IP addresses for trying to break into the server with wrong account details, this is ongoing every day....., always.

We block the IP address to protect the server from hack attempts.
We start with a TEMPORARY BLOCK for a period of 30 minutes after which it is automatically unblocked and then if the problem continues (5 Temporary Blocks) we move to a PERMANENT BLOCK.

If an IP is permanently blocked, and it is a genuine client's IP (not a hacker), they will most likely ring up saying 'is your server down'. The client hardly ever says 'I have new IPhone and I have tried to set it up and now it seems I have been locked out'.

Note: most ISP dynamically generated a new IP for their clients on each new connection so if the client reboots their modem, generally a new IP will be issued by their ISP and they get another series of attempts to access their accounts.

Below are the rules sets applied

TEMPORARY IP BLOCK - THEIR IP IS BLOCKED FOR 30 MINUTES
If a client tries to log in to their following accounts with the wrong username and/or password;
- POP3 email account (10 times within 1 hour)
- cPanel account (5 times within 1 hour)

PERMANENT IP BLOCK
- POP3 email account (5 temporary blocks)
- cPanel account (5 temporary blocks )

Looks like you are blocked from the Youchoose Server commonly caused by multiple failed login attempts
If you have been trying to set up a new phone or a new laptop and are having trouble with the setup

You can go back on this form and request the 'POP3 email setup instructions'.

If you try to browse to your site, you should see an option to unblock yourself after passing the 'you are not a robot' test.

If the above does not work, submit a support request to follow up on the issue for you.

If the repair option is preferred, please acknowledge that a payment of $100+gst is authorised and the time allocated for this work is 60 minutes only with no guarantee we will be successful.
We will, however, provide a report of what we did.

Hit the SUBMIT button on the next screen and a member of our support staff will action this request.

Persistent wrong login attempts will ultimately lead to their IP address being permanently blocked
Once the IP address is permanently blocked, you will need to ring up to have it manually unblocked by us

Please provide us with your IP address.
Just click on the link below and a new browser tab will open up and tell us the number you see at the top of the browser screen (this is your IP address).
http://www.whatsmyip.org/
Text your IP address to 0425 812 313 with your name, url and a brief description and we will unblock your IP.
OR
Send us your IP address in the comments field at the end of this online support session.

Wow, that is great!
Well done.
Please know that subsequent bad login attempts will result in their IP address again getting blocked.

That sucks!
