I keep trying to connect to Outlook Express, but I keep getting the
message,

Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes
for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of
inactivity. Account: 'mail@', Server: 'xxx.171.xxx.66', Protocol:
POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F

I have stopped (free) Zone Alarm firewall and tried again, but still
get same message.

I have even stopped the AVG AntiVirus program and tried it again
without
success.

I can access the email via the web browser, and occasionally I do get
the
first email downloaded (but not deleted from the server) but something
seems to
stop OE from continuing.

The Outlook Express POP3.log seems to be truncated (see below). The log
seems to indicate that it gets to the same place each time and then
bombs
out.

Any ideas anyone please?

Thanks,
Paul

POP3.log file....
This is still happening today. If you look at the time, you can see
where one finishes and the
next attempt begins. 07:57 & 08:02
