When I switch to a high speed internet I lost my increditmail and outlook
express 6, I can get my mail in web mail but when I open outlook express I
get a message that said,
The host 'pop3.bmg50.com' could not be found. Please verify that you have
entered the server name correctly. Account: 'pop3.bmg50.com', Server:
'pop3.bmg50.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error:
11001, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D.
I can get the mail from bmg50.com from his e-mail program but not from
outlook express.

This is usually caused by an anti-spam program or an anti-virus set to scan
email.

Turn off email scanning in your anti-virus. It provides no added
protection. After doing so it may be necessary to reset the server names in
OE.

The Other E-Mail Threat: File Corruption in Outlook Express

Email scanning slows down Sending and Receiving, sometimes enough that OE
times out. Since some of the received messages have large (often virus)
attachments, which exasperates the problem.
Some Comcast users have found it necessary to totally uninstall Norton and
switch to the free AVG with mail scanning off. Norton invented email
scanning and here's what they say:

"Disabling Email Scanning does not leave you unprotected against viruses
that
are distributed as email attachments. Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect scans
incoming files as they are saved to your hard drive, including email and
email attachments. Email Scanning is just another layer on top of this. To
make sure that Auto-Protect is providing the maximum protection, keep
Auto-Protect enabled and run LiveUpdate regularly to ensure that you have
the most recent virus definitions."
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...256c7500723cf0

"...your computer is protected if Auto-Protect is enabled. Auto-Protect
scans any incoming files, including email attachments, when the files are
saved to your hard drive."
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...01100907323806

"NAV provides multiple layers of protection. Email scanning is just one of
those layers. Even if you are not running Email Scanning, your computer is
protected against viruses that are distributed as email attachments by NAV
Auto-Protect. Auto-Protect will scan any incoming files, including email
attachments, as they are saved to your hard drive. To make sure that
Auto-Protect is providing the maximum protection, keep Auto-Protect enabled
and run LiveUpdate regularly to ensure that you have the most recent virus
definitions."

So Symantec used to say this often and clearly. The newer stuff doesn't
have the statement included as it was considered an embarrassment. If you
know anyone who programs for Norton try to get them to talk about it.

You have the wrong name for the mail server. There is no server named
'pop3.bmg50.com' which is what the error message is trying to tell you.

There is however a server named 'mail.bmg50.com'. And it does respond
to POP3 access.

Fix this in Outlook Express at Tools, Accounts, Mail, Properties,
Servers.

Again, smtp.bmg50.com does not exist. Try mail.bmg50.com for that server,
too. It is not uncommon for a news server to use the same name for both
POP3 and SMTP since they use different ports.
