Re: OE6 cannot connect to mail server after login change

Frank I had responded to you in a different steam previously;however, now i
have fixed the problem. I resolved my problem by working through an online
MS utility that validated the installation of the MS Genuine advantage tool.
It found an error with the installation of the MS office validation active X
controls. I let the web based utility correct the error. I also reinstalled
the recently installed Windows Media 11 player. Not sure which was the
solution but the problem is resolved and Norton is up and running just fine
and had nothing to do with the issue. I am running Norton Internet security
2006 with Spam filtering and AV as well as Norton system works Premier 2003.
As I suspected neither of the Norton products had anything to do with the
problem so I suggest you stop advising people to disable Norton and look a
little closer to home (ie Redmond).

The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'mail.labyrinth.net.au',
Server: 'mail.labyrinth.net.au', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL):
No, Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

I do use Nortons. I have tried it with Norton Internet Security disabled,
and autoprotect disabled
and it makes no difference.
When the mail connection does work, changing Nortons makes no difference
also.
It is set to scan email. I tried switching it off, but it made no
difference.

Dial-up connection.

All I have unusual is a script that is used for LAN connections in IE. I
switch
off the automatically use script option and it makes no difference.

My other settings aren't anything special as far as I can tell, POP3, the
right
mail server there. It was working okay a few days ago.

I tried to notice anything different in processes running between
relogging in.
I found that a Java Collaboration Server was running before and then
disappearing
after relogging in. I have set it to manual start now, so it is usually
not running at all,
but this has made no difference.

With Norton it is often not enough to "disable" Norton because that never
really disables all of it. It is sometimes necessary to totally uninstall
it.

Also turn off any anti-spam program.
