Protocole: POP3, Port: 110, Security (SSL): No, Socket error: 10060, Error number: 0x800CCC0E

Hi

I have a French version of Windows Vista with Windows Mail. I set up my
email account, which worked fine the whole of yesterday. Today I tried
to send and receive and got this error message:

Check the connection to the server and Protocole: POP3, Port: 110,
Security (SSL): No, Socket error: 10060, Error number: 0x800CCC0E

I originally had McAffee and AVG both of which I have now uninstalled
and restarted the computer - this has not helped. I have adjusted the
port numbers - this has not helped. I can access the email account via
webmail and my internet connection does work. I have read several
threads on this topic and have tried following the advice given to
others, but with no success. Does anyone have any further suggestions?

Thanks!

Since the account may have become corrupted while your antivirus
was installed, one possible quick fix is to delete that corrupted
mail account, restart Windows Mail, then recreate that account.

If no improvement, are you running any other security software
that may be interfering with email? Webroot Spy Sweeper, for one,
often causes problems for Windows Mail.

I don't recommend running for any length of time without an
antivirus, so you should reinstall the free version of either AVG
or Avast. When you reinstall, be sure to select 'custom' install,
which then gives you the opportunity to unselect installing the
troublesome email scanning module.

Thanks for the suggestion - it seems a little strange but, although my
internet was operating normally, after disconnecting and reconnecting my
internet connection about 20 times Mail all of a sudden started working
again. I've now installed avant and things are working smoothly again :)
