(BTW, if there's another newsgroup this would be better asked, let me know.)
I'm using Outlook 2003 from Office 2003, with the latest patches, on a WinXP
Pro PC.
I have 6 different POP3 accounts I check e-mail on. For some reason whenever
I do a Send/Receive all the accounts, one account will always fail to
connect saying:
Task 'mail.THE-DOMAIN.com - Receiving' reported error (0x8004210A) : 'The
operation timed out waiting for a response from the receiving (POP) server.
If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator
or Internet service provider (ISP).'
It's always the same account, so I deleted it and recreated it. Then it was
a different account that was constantly timing out. So I deleted that one
and recreated it, and so a 3rd one started constantly doing it. I finally
deleted them and and recreated them, same thing: one account would
constantly time out.
The entire mail check process stalls as long as it tries checking the
account, and if I manually cancel that account, the rest will start checking
properly.
I tried upping the timeout on each account, but that just makes the whole
thing take longer without changing anything.
As a work-around I removed all the accounts from being checked at one time,
and set up a separate...checker for each account and set each one to check
automatically at different times. One at 5 minute intervals, the next at 6,
etc.
That seems to work OK most of the time, but ocassionally I'll still get one
stalling.
I'd really like to get this fixed so I can check them all at the same time.
I've tried the same thing using Ximian mail on a Linux box, checking all 6
accounts at the same time on the same connection as the WinXP box, and it
works perfectly, so it must be a Outlook 2003 issue.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
