Re: Getting error (0x8004210A)

Your ISP is rather full of baloney and their statement suggests they are lazy, ignorant, or both. The most common cause is an email AntiVirus/AntiSpam scanner having a problem. If you're running an AV application and it's set to scan email, disable this feature, it is redundant, not needed, and only serves to create email problems where there are none. Depending on the application, you may have to un-install it, then re-install it WITHOUT the email scanning module:

Error message when you view a POP3 e-mail account with antivirus software installed: The operation timed out waiting for a response from the receiving (POP) server 0x8004210a


Other causes and troubleshooting techniques are listed here:

What version of Windows are you using?

Recently, with my OL 2003 I'm getting after SEND/RECEIVE

Task 'JMayMail - Receiving' reported error (0x8004210A) : 'The operation timed out waiting for a response from the receiving (POP) server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'



My ISP - "says" - they DO NOT Support MS OL - Only OL Express -- What Can I do?
