Re: Outloox express down AGAIN
 

I haven't been able to get my mail through outlook express since yesterday afternoon, this is the message I keep getting:-
The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'pop.ntlworld.com', Server: 'localhost', Protocol: POP3, Port: 1111, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

Have given up now and getting it through mail2web :D

Re: Outloox express down AGAIN
 

It's not Outlook Express that is the problem, it'll be the NTL email servers.
But I can get my email with OE just fine at the moment.

Re: Outloox express down AGAIN
 

Why are you using port 111? I'm using port 110 here and retrieving mail no problem :confused:
Also in Outlook Express, look in Tools, accounts, Mail, select the correct account and click properties, advanced tab and make sure you have not specified a short time out period

Re: Outloox express down AGAIN
 

I keep getting you pop3 server is not responding, do you want to wait???

Re: Outloox express down AGAIN
 

Is it free???

Re: Outloox express down AGAIN
 

as long as you have the correct pop address specified then it would look like the email servers are misbehaving again :(
What POP settings are you using Nidge?

Re: Outloox express down AGAIN
 

Was using that port because "spampal" setup told me to, its always worked before...anyway, I just changed it to 1110 and it works now, so thanks for that

Re: Outloox express down AGAIN
 

I had the same problem with Outlook Express and Hotmail, but it is all working fine now.

Re: Outloox express down AGAIN

Just got this.

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

Re: Outloox express down AGAIN
 

can you get at your mail using webmail ???????????

i only ask because i had a problem a while ago , for some reason the first mail in the queue to send to me was ' stuck ' for want of a better description , i cleared it using webmail and everything was fine after that :)

Re: Outloox express down AGAIN
 

Sorted it Paul thanks, it was Zone alarm it was set to high, the only trouble I have now is it's sending me repeat mails every time do a send and receive :( :( :( :( :(

Re: Outloox express down AGAIN
 

oh the joys of computers , glad you are sorted now :)

Re: Outloox express down AGAIN
 

Look: Server says 'localhost': you are using some sort of anti-virus program which is scanning your POP3 mail before Outlook receives it. For some reason, your anti-virus is not functioning correctly. So fix your anti-virus: it is not a mailer problem and not an NTL problem.

also this may help you understand

Thats my spampal set to clear out all the junk I get on a daily basis!!! As i mentioned in my post earlier, have changed the port to 110 and all is now fine :)

Re: Outloox express down AGAIN
 

So does that mean that SpamPal is no longer doing anything for you?

Re: Outloox express down AGAIN
 

yes take a look I also use mozilla for the browser. look at www.mozilla.org take a look and see there is a lot of good plugins aswell.

Re: Outloox express down AGAIN
 

No, it's working fine .

Re: Outloox express down AGAIN
 

I suspect spampal uses a similar system to saproxy (which I use).

It runs on your local machine on port 110 so you point your client (outlook etc) to "localhost" port 110 rather than the NTL pop3 server. The spam software contacts the pop server, scans the mail and then forwards it to the mail client.
