My Outlook 2003 pop3 connection fails to get mail with error 0x8004210A "the
operation timed out waiting for a response from the receiving (POP)
server...." the test Account Settings result is
Log onto incoming mail server (POP3): The specified server was found, but
there was no response from the server...

Find incoming mail server (POP3): Outlook could not connect to the incoming
mail server (POP3)

I have configured the pop3 SSL 995, smtp SSL 587 with authentication etc.
The mail sending works ok via port 587. I have a similar email account
configured for another service provider and this works succesfully, so I
guess that rules out firewall and antivirus restrictions.

Can anyone advise what the issue could be?
