Dropped connection to POP3 servers

B

Bill Moore

Just installed Office 2003 under XP Home. Outlook is
dropping connection to POP3 servers, I check 2 different
servers with a S/R. Both fail at the same time, never
separately. Sometimes I can exit Outlook gracefully but
a reboot is required to get Outlook to work again.
Sometimes locks entire system and have to powerdown
manually.

Pattern not fully determined but it appears to happen
when there is other activity to the internet that is
going to specific servers using an ID and password. I
use Medved Quotetracker with E*Trade quotes (requires
ID). If I bring up Quotetracker, Outlook will fail
within 30 minutes, sometimes 2 or 3. If I do online
update of checking account with Quicken, next S/R under
Outlook fails and locks up.

Any ideas?
