I just switched to a different computer, and I am using OE 6.0.

It will not allow me to check my email on a secure SSL server. The
complete message is:

"An unknown error has occurred. Protocol: POP3, Port: 0, Secure(SSL):
No, Error Number: 0x80004005"

Can anyone help me?

If it matters, I am running Firefox 1.5.0.6

Thanks,
oshdaniel

Hi oshdaniel,

I haven't been able to find a match for the exact error. It is interesting
that the error says Secure(SSL) is not selected ("No"). Also, I don't know
if "Port: 0" is of significance. A starting point for troubleshooting would
be to check the account's configuration. If a filtering program (anti-virus
or spam) for e-mail message scan is in use disable this feature. Continue
using the A/V system scan to protect the PC. In some instances an A/V
program will take control of the port for POP3. This might require a
reinstall of the A/V program, but I would not suggest doing this now.
