Re: POP3 Accounts

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



I have no anti spam running. I did try the idea of changing to another Cox
server but nothing. I still have a email account from Pacbell that has not
been closed and I cannot get messages from it either, also a POP3. I have 3
hotmail accounts that download perfectly. Believe it has to do with some
changes by the Outlook Express update by Microsoft. All had worked
flawlessly till then.
