For the last couple of days my email has been saying 1 0f 7 (1%) and for
whatever reason it is not loading, thus, I am not getting any of my email-
then I get this message:
Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for
this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of
inactivity. ............Protocol: No, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F

I tried to send an email using Adobe Photo and it came back that it was
larger than it could handle. My guess is that it might be sending it back
and now I can't get anything to work. I have both OE & Incredimail and
neither is working- same thing for both. HELP!!

Hi MMV1,

Is the message now stuck in the Outbox? If it is, move or delete the
message. I'm not familiar with Incredimail and how it figures into the
issue.

If you never complete downloading all the existing e-mail messages from
a POP3 mail server, the next time it will start over from the beginning
and send the messages that you may already have. This is by design of
the POP3 mail protocol. As a fail safe, the server always assumes on a
lost connection that the mail client crashed and lost all messages from
that download.

Some possible causes of problems downloading mail messages:

- You may have a very large message to download, or one that is causing
problems for your mail program. 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). Based on
what you have said, this is most likely your problem.

- The POP3UIDL.DAT (IMN or OE4) or POP3UIDL.DBX (OE5+) file may be
corrupted. This is used to track previously downloaded messages when
you leave messages on a POP3 server (Tools, Accounts, Mail, Properties,
Advanced). However, the file gets updated even if you aren't leaving
messages on the server. Delete the file with Outlook Express or
Internet Mail closed. (On Win2000 you need enable the display of Hidden
or System files in the folder options and XP you need to use the
advanced options to find Hidden or System files.) The next time all
mail on the server will be downloaded. But after that the file should
function correctly again.

- The POP3 mail server is having problems.

- Anti-virus program scanning e-mail as it downloads. Increasing the
Server Timeout at Tools, Accounts, Mail, Properties, Advanced might
help. Or you may need to disable the anti-virus software from scanning
e-mail.
