Hi all,

I have these errors.

Task 'xxxxxxxxx - Receiving' reported error (0x8004210A) : 'The operation timed out waiting for a response from the receiving (POP) server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'


Task 'xxxxxxxxx - Sending' reported error (0x8004210B) : 'The operation timed out waiting for a response from the sending (SMTP) server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'


When I do Test Account Settings I get the following results:

Establishing network connection - Completed
Find outgoing mail server (SMTP) - Cancelled
Find incoming mail server (POP3) - Cancelled


I tried to telnet mail server on port 110, the response was +OK

After that I installed Thunderbird and after installation it automatically imported all configurations from Outlook. You guess, everything was fine in Thunderbird. Sending and receiving with the same settings was working.

I also tried to remove one installed patch from automatic updates. That I saw on some forum. Did not help.

I am running Nod32 and although there should be no problems with Outlook and Nod32 I tried to disalbe e-mail scanning. Didn't help either.

Windows XP SP3 is running on the machine. Don't have installed complete Office 2003, only Outlook 2003. I ran automatic updates and have all the latest patches including Office SP3.

I don't know what to do anymore...

Which other addins do you have installed?
Does it work in Outlook Safe Mode?
Start- Run; outlook.exe /safe

Locate your srs-file and rename it to .old. See if it works now;

Increase the server timeout. You find this setting in advanced settings
of your email account.

You need to uninstall NOD32 and then re-install it without the email integration
(scanning) Disabling it by itself does not work in most if not all AV programs

Firs of all thanks for the answers.

I tried to start outlook in safe mode, but it was the same.

Renaming srs also didn't work.

I increased server timeout to 5 minutes - same thing.

But thanks for help.

I did everything that was suggested.

I uninstalled Nod and tried to install Outlook 10 times and it didn't work.

I officialy gave up and switched to Thunderbird.
