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.

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,

. 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.

I 'think' I've tried everything except a new Identity.
Set up new account.
Turned off firewalls (ZA & window xp).
Not sure how to check modem but everything else(web browsing, other e-mail
accounts, etc.) are working ok. This problem is not only here at office(all
3 systems) but on home system also. (That leads me to believe it's a ISP
problem.)
The above is main reason I haven't changed a bunch of setting yet. Last time
something like this happened, couple years back, I got my system's' all
messed up and it wasn't on my end. I'm not an expert!!

Note: I've been trying to get through to my ISP and their phone lines are
all BUSY.... Another point of a possible problem on their end, yes/no.

This problem is not only here at office (all 3 systems) but on home system
also.
/qp

That does lead one to suspect and ISP problem. There is absolutely no
changes in OE that you can make on this machine that would affect the home
machine in this instance.

Just got back from lunch and it's working!!!!

I had sent tech-support a couple of e-mails since their phones has been
busy.
Either they did something or it just decided to start working again.

Thanks for the help,

Lewis
