Windows Mai

I posted these earlier but I can't see it having come up. I'm sorry if some
of you see it. It is not meant to be multiple posting.

I'm using Vista Home Premium.

Suddenly, for no apparent reason, I can't send e-mails. I have 3 accounts,
all correctly configured. All receive okay but can't send. I get the error
message: 0x800CCC19. Clearly not reaching the server connection although the
progress box states "Connected".

I checked out the server status, BT Broadband, all was okay, not even any
huge files waiting, and I've checked my Norton antivirus etc and can't see
anyhing wrong there or that has changed overnight.

After looking up the error message I found something about deleting the file
pop3uidl but this is for Outlook Express. I could not find this file anyway,
not even on my XP Home laptop.

Microsoft Support was no use.

Can anyone help me with this?

TIA

Obviously, something has changed, it might be a recent update, it might be
some change in your firewall, perhaps some other software you installed
recently. In any event, you might try using System Restore to take you back
to a time prior to when this began. Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\System
Tools\System Restore.

While System Restore should only restore your settings and registry, you
should make sure your data is well backed up as a precaution.

Something similar happened to me with OE on WXP. There was a corrupted item
in the outbox which timed out the server, but OE gave me no indication that
it was trying to send something, or I didn't recognize that it was trying to
send something. Removing that item from the outbox fixed the problem.

Ed,
Thoughout the Windows Mail newsgroup are problems stated that appear to be
just like yours. The solution is to uninstall Norton. It is incompatible
with Windows Mail. Get a free anti-virus such as AVG http://free.grisoft.com
or Avast! http://www.avast.com/

Thanks, Michael.

I have thought of that, and I did load Battlefield 2 a week or so ago, but
all has been working fine until this morning. SR is a last result but will
not cure a corrupt file.

Kind regards,

Ed

You're welcome, Ed.

Charles is correct about Norton and McAfee and Windows Mail and I failed to
mention that as a possible cause.

As to the timing of the installation ob Battlefield 2, sometimes it takes
awhile for something to kick in or trigger and issue. It can depend on what
something is using within the system as applications, even games, don't
always use everything.

Not exactly true about a corrupt file. Here's why. If you go back to
before you did something, before an install for example, the install may no
longer be there after System Restore and may take the problem with it,
assuming the problem is within that application.

Now, as to a corrupted file, if that's the cause, there is something you can
do about that as well. you can open a Command Prompt and type sfc /scannow
and press enter and that will check all the system files. NOTE the space
between sfc and the forward slash.

Clogged Outbox in Windows Mail is a known bug. MVP Steve Cochran wrote a
program to clear it. http://www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/

Thanks, Michael, I'll be trying that. I have it in mind now to remove the
game and use a preinstallation R/Point.
