Default socket error 10053

"SP" none wrote in message
Hi
Below is an error that I get sometimes when "sending" email. Some
internet advices mentioned that it might have to do with virus
software. So not only I disabled virus software, I uninstalled it
completely, but the error still occurred. So, for my case, virus
software didn't seem to be the cause. The strange thing is that the
error did not happen every time I sent email. It happened
sporadically throughout the day and always at the moment I sent a
message. When it happened, all I needed to do was to click Send/Recv
button again and the message got sent ok.
I also tried to use port 5190 instead of the standard port 25 in
account properties, but that didn't help either.

Please help solve this problem.
Thank you
Steve

===========socket error 10053==============
Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible
causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long
period of inactivity. Account: 'My Account', Server:
'mail.mycompany.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No,
socket error: 10053, error Number: 0x800CCC0F


The most common cause of this is anti-virus scanning the outgoing email and
slowing things down enough to cause a timeout. However, you have apparently
eliminated this cause. See this articles:
