I previously worked for hours with Sonic tech's over phone and Phone co rep
at home. No luck. I rechecked settings and those from Sonic site do NOT work
for me. I cannot use SSL settings as sonic will not accept my password so I
use ports 25 -- 110 and not ssl. these were given to me by sonic.
Thanks still have hope..
Review all your settings here *very carefully*. Every checkbox. etc.

Configure Outlook Express using Sonic.net:

If I try to send a message of about 300k about half way thru my modem
shows no data going out and about a minute later I receive this: This
occurs with message that are longer than 50-100k. No definite starting
point.

A time out of 120 seconds occurred from your pop server, would you like to
continue?

reply NO

"A time-out occurred while communicating with the server. Subject 'Fw:
Union Rules', Account: 'POP.SONIC.NET', Server: 'MAIL.SONIC.NET',
Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC19"

I have had help here before with no cure but I did find a workaround--make
a new identity--which will work for days to weeks before needing new
identity again. This is a lot of work with mail moving, rules, newsgroups,
etc.



I am running a fast computer running XP Pro-sp2.

Drive has 30GB free

IGB memory-no other Programs running at time of problem.

Clean-spybot and others

defragged recently

Have completely removed Avast in previous attempts with no help.

Your thoughts please--It's a real annoyance and restricts business uses IE
big excel files.



Going crazy "short trip"
