I'm having a server time out problem in OE6. Using 56k Dial-up,
it's been working well for year or so. But lately, it times out
after a minute of trying to download a message.
On DSL it works fine. I have the time outs turned up as high as
they can go. I've uninstalled anti-virus software, turned off all
firewall and cleared the account using a webmail interface.
I sent 1 message to the account as a test, then dialed up and same
problem. I deleted the connection and the modem and reinstalled them
both, same problem.
I reinstalled OE and IE, same problem. I finally did a system
restore to a period when i was certain that it worked and no luck.
The browser is fine and i'm stumped. Yet it functions well on DSL
or any other high speed connection, but no dialup connection from
multiple isp's will work.
In most cases, it offers the Winsock Error - 10053 most times.
Any help will be appreciated.

This is usually caused by an anti-spam program or and anti-virus set to scan
email.
Turn off email scanning in your anti-virus. It provides no added
protection. After doing so it may be necessary to reset the server names in
OE.

Email scanning slows down Sending and Receiving, sometimes enough that OE
times out. Since some of the received messages have large (often virus)
attachments, which exasperates the problem.
Some Comcast users have found it necessary to totally uninstall Norton and
switch to the free AVG with mail scanning off. Norton invented email
scanning and here's what they say:
"Disabling Email Scanning does not leave you unprotected against viruses
that
are distributed as email attachments. Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect scans
incoming files as they are saved to your hard drive, including email and
email attachments. Email Scanning is just another layer on top of this. To
make sure that Auto-Protect is providing the maximum protection, keep
Auto-Protect enabled and run LiveUpdate regularly to ensure that you have
the most recent virus definitions."

"...your computer is protected if Auto-Protect is enabled. Auto-Protect
scans any incoming files, including email attachments, when the files are
saved to your hard drive."
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/nav.nsf/docid/2001100907323806
"NAV provides multiple layers of protection. Email scanning is just one of
those layers. Even if you are not running Email Scanning, your computer is
protected against viruses that are distributed as email attachments by NAV
Auto-Protect. Auto-Protect will scan any incoming files, including email
attachments, as they are saved to your hard drive. To make sure that
Auto-Protect is providing the maximum protection, keep Auto-Protect enabled
and run LiveUpdate regularly to ensure that you have the most recent virus
definitions."

So Symantec used to say this often and clearly. The newer stuff doesn't
have the statement included as it was considered an embarrassment. If you
know anyone who programs for Norton try to get them to talk about it.
