Re: socket error 10060, 0x800CCC0E

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



Thanks PA Bear (I've been a fan of yours for years, you have my sincere
thanks and gratitude for all you do and have done)
I have set up a new Identity, switched to it from the main Identity and got
the same results. I have also tried the <sfc /scannow> from a command
prompt. The error message is not unlike the following:
Error: The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'youraccount',
Server: 'www.yourdomain.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No,
Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E
Inbox and all other folders are emptied daily....to include the Deleted
items. Email scanning is and has been disabled.
I will go over and compact the folders manually, although, I believe that
has already been done. I'll post back with the results.
The only thing I can find, that I haven't tried, is to format and
reinstall.....really don't want to do that, at least, not yet.
Heirloom, old and off to compact
