The 'failed to connect to server' message is because
ports 110 or 25 aren't available. The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'mail.xxxx', Server: 'mail.xxxx', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E Besides what could possibly block them, is there a Windows executable or something for unblocking or waking up these ports? |

How do you know the port is closed? Maybe xxxx does not use ports 25 and 110. -- Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM http://www.fjsmjs.com |

The system or OE assumes the ports are unavailable. Otherwise I can assume more obscure reasons that can only be resolved by uninstalling Norton Internet Security.

Get rid of Norton and then remove your mail accounts, close and reopen OE,
and add them back again. Then see if it works. See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 steve "Barrabas" wrote in message ... "Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM" wrote in message ...

Ports get blocked by a firewall. That could be on your PC, the router
if you are using one, or your ISP. 10061 = Connection refused That can also mean that the mail server doesn't want to talk to you on that port. Could be that the server isn't using that port (some are moving to SSL which uses a different port) or that you aren't connecting to the Internet via that ISP (more common for SMTP that POP). The problem can also be caused by your anti-virus program scanning e-mail or use of an anti-spam program. -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "Barrabas" wrote in message ...

But it isn't that. Get rid of Norton. -- Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM Do not send mail. |
