If I try to send a message of about 300k about half way thru my modem shows
no data going out and about a minute later I receive this: This occurs with
message that are longer than 50-100k. No definite starting point.

A time out of 120 seconds occurred from your pop server, would you like to
continue?

reply NO

"A time-out occurred while communicating with the server. Subject 'Fw: Union
Rules', Account: 'POP.SONIC.NET', Server: 'MAIL.SONIC.NET', Protocol: SMTP,
Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC19"

I have had help here before with no cure but I did find a workaround--make a
new identity--which will work for days to weeks before needing new identity
again. This is a lot of work with mail moving, rules, newsgroups, etc.



I am running a fast computer running XP Pro-sp2.

Drive has 30GB free

IGB memory-no other Programs running at time of problem.

Clean-spybot and others

defragged recently

Have completely removed Avast in previous attempts with no help.

Your thoughts please--It's a real annoyance and restricts business uses IE
big excel files.

I previously worked for hours with Sonic tech's over phone and Phone co rep
at home. No luck. I rechecked settings and those from Sonic site do NOT work
for me. I cannot use SSL settings as sonic will not accept my password so I
use ports 25 -- 110 and not ssl. these were given to me by sonic.
Thanks still have hope..
Review all your settings here *very carefully*. Every checkbox. etc.

Configure Outlook Express using Sonic.net:

1. Are you connecting to the Internet through Sonic?

2. Email scanning should be turned off in any anti-virus. Also exclude EML
files from the scan. It provides no protection not provided by the regular
resident protection.
Besides that, McAfee and Norton are not compatible with Windows Mail and
Outlook Express and should be uninstalled. The latest version of Trend's
anti-virus seems to be causing problems too.
