Did you try the suggestions in the link I sent?
. Incorrect account settings
. Misconfiguration of personal firewall software
. Antivirus software
. A bad modem
. Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) size
. Outlook Express has been removed from the computer or the
installation is damaged
. Your user profile in Outlook is damaged
. An e-mail item on your POP3 server is damaged
Also: You may have a damaged identity especially if it is the default Main
Identity. File | Identity | Add New Identity. Create a new one and test it.
If all is well, you can import your messages from the old identity and
delete it.

Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant
layer of protection that eats up CPUs and causes a multitude of problems
such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A/V
program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more, see:
http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3
And see:
How to troubleshoot error messages that you receive when try to send and
receive e-mail in Outlook and in Outlook Express:
http://support.microsoft.com/default...14&Product=oex
Check your settings as 0x800ccc90 is a password error.
If you still have problems. post all error messages in their entirety.
Just click on the message and it will highlight allowing you to right
click and copy.

OE, WinXp(home), AVG anti-virus, ZoneAlarm Pro and XP firewall. All
updated....
Started yesterday. Trying to check e-mail on one account and get
different error msg.(time out and then) 0x800ccc19 & 0x800ccc90 &
0x800cccoe...
I have 3 e-mail accounts and 2 are working fine.
Is this a "possible" problem on my end or ISP?
I don't want to start making a bunch of setting changes if not needed.
Worked fine for 3+ years.
Thanks,
L.
