Outlook Express error code 0x800CCCOF

[Chad Gross]

I need some help here. I am trying to send a audio file in email. The size many be less than 3MB. It is attached to the email, but when I try to send I am getting a error on the screen. The error is that server connection terminated unexpectedly. I am not able to figure out what is the problem behind it. The error code that I had received on my screen is 0x800CCCOF. I am unable to figure out why this error just appeared suddenly on my screen.

Try to change the smtp port. It looks it being blocked due to which you are getting the problem. Sometime a antivirus is also the root cause of problem. Because when you send or receive emails, it scans it first. So disable it for sometime and send the mails. Then check back again. I am sure this would be working well. If nothing works out try the web interface and then see whether things are working fine or not.

I am giving you a link below that has some solution which would help you in fixing the problem. The problem usually lies with the antivirus. It is essential that you must disable the same on start and check back. Or your emails might be having file size limits of sending mails. Upload that file to some file sharing website and then share it the download link with your friend.
