cant open messages
 

i had a lot of messages to open on outlook express 6, i got about halfway
thru when it stopped and this message came up........Your server has
unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include
server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Account:
'pop.freeserve.com', Server: 'pop.freeserve.com', Protocol: POP3, Server
Response: '+OK Message follows', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number:
0x800CCC0F....... i then opened my messages again al of the messages before
it stopped went thru ok, so i stopped it at the point, i still cant get past
a certain email tho, and i havent a clue what it is can anyone help

cant open messages
 

By a lot of messages to open, do you mean a lot of messages to download from
the server?

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 loss of messages. Your up-to-date A/V
program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more, see:
http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

Note that for some AV programs, it may be necessary to uninstall the program
and reinstall in Custom Mode and uncheck e-mail scanning when the option
arises.

If the problem persists, does it always stop at the same message? Log on to
your Webmail site and delete the offending message.
