Hi,

I have a problem with my Outlook 2000 on Win 2000.

When I click on send / receive will go this error:
The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'mailbox.aon.at', Server: 'mailbox.aon.at', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure (SSL): No, Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

Hi,

Solution for error code 0x800CCC0A :

1. This is a possible corruption of the pop3uidl file. Close your internet connection and all programs. Search for the file pop3uidl and delete it. Reconnect and it should work.

2. Repeat step 1 with a reboot before you check your mail again.

3. You may have a corrupt or a very large file attachment on the mailserver. Large file attachments, mail that are missing headers, or mail that do not conform to the mail RFC's can cause this.

Maybe the file: pop3uidl is corrupted.

Solution:

1. Unplug the Internet.

2. Close all applications.

3. Click Start -> Find -> Files or Folders and search: pop3uidl.

4. Delete this file.

5. Construct now the connection and call on your e-mail account again.

Hi,

Problem of corruption of file (file too large or damaged server, also check your coverage to see if it does not destroy the attachment.)
