Quite suddenly today, Outlook won't download a message and I get this error
message;

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


Is there any way I can stop the message, which seems not to be downloading,
from blocking my other emails in the queue.

I am using outlook express 6 and have all the relevant updates. Up to this
afternoon my emails were downloading fine.

MS Outlook, or Outlook Express? If OE:

Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer
of protection that eats up CPUs, slows down sending and receiving, and
causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes
and has even been responsible for lose of messages. Your up-to-date A/V
program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more, see:

How to troubleshoot error messages that you receive when try to send and
receive e-mail in Outlook and in Outlook Express:

See Bruce's reply.

But if it's a message gumming up the works, you may be able to use
Telnet to look at your server mail box and optionally get rid of any
problem message. You can find these Telnet instructions at
http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_san...pop3telnet.htm
Or your mail service may offer a web interface that would allow you to
delete the problem message. If not, you might be able to use
http://mail2web.com or http://www.mailstart.com for this function (if
your ISP allows outside access to their POP3 mail server).
