Re: Help-Log off means can't get mail



I have no problem accessing the internet with my browser when this occurs.

Here is the error message I get almost instantly when trying to get my
email. There is no delay and no period of inactivity:

"Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for
this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of
inactivity. Account: 'Counsel', Server: '127.0.0.1', Protocol: POP3, Port:
9999, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F"

(I am using Port 9999 and 127.0.0.1 because of an anti-spam program I am
using. I tried to reset it without using the anti-spam program but the same
thing happens until I reboot.)

I can access my email using my browser and going to my email account via the
internet.

I can telnet to my email server.

Here is another very weird thing, I downloaded Thunderbird and it has the
same symptoms! Works fine until I log off and then log on again. Can't get
my email until I reboot.
