Getting this message when I try and download emails. Is there anything glaringly obvious that is causing this?
Thanks in advance.
Task 'localhost - Sending and Receiving' reported error (0x800CCC0F) : 'The connection to the server was interrupted. If this problem continues, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'

Could be as simple as a huge e-mail in your inbox..... Can you get onto your mailbox through a webmail interface and check? Always look for the simple stuff first.
If you can't, check back and get one of us to walk you through checking your mailbox by telnetting onto port 110 of your ISP's server. One of the guys here will know what I'm on about.
I won't go into the tecchie details just yet in case the simple route works

Ok. Go into ‘Tools’ > ‘Options’ > ‘Mail Setup’ then click on Email Accounts.
Select View or change existing e-mail accounts then ‘next’.
Highlight the account you wish to view and click ‘Change’.
Check your email address is correct under User information and in Logon Information. If you have a password – retype this in.
Check that Log on using Secure Password Authentication (SPA) (bottom left) is unchecked. (no tick).
Server information should read your host address i.e. hotmail or msn.
Now click More Settings at the bottom right.
Under the tab ‘Outgoing Server’ ensure that the box marked ‘My outgoing server (SMPT) requires authentication’ is un checked.
Under ‘Connection’ ensure ‘Connect using my local area network (LAN)’ is checked.
And under advanced check that Incoming server (POP3) is 110 and that the ‘This server requires an encrypted connection (SSL)’ is unchecked.
And then that your Outgoing server (SMTP) is set to 25 and that the encryption is unchecked again.
Then click Ok at the bottom and then at the previous window click ‘Test account settings’.
Then let me know what error comes up

Incoming mail server and outgoing server from local host to host address. Not hotmail or msn if that is of any help.
Hmmmmmmmmm..... And all the other settings were correct?
I had a problem with Outlook on our network a while ago that involved the settings mysteriously changing. Specifically the 'Requires Authentication' (SSL) settings. If all the other settings didn't need changing, just the POP3 & SMTP address set them back as they were before and try again.
It could well be a problem with your host server. Who is your host out of interest and I shall try an experiment

Out of interest, the only thing that seemed to have changed on the original settings seemed to be the the incoming and outgoing servers had for some reason changed to localhost. Not sure if that is relevant and all other settings seem correct.
Wiz, you've spent a lot of time on this already so don't worry. Sure you must be busy with your own stuff.
Cheers,

Some client based anti spam filters set your outlook to local host and steal the settings that were there during install. Then when you check for mail the anitspam sees you connection to localhost and goes and gets the mail from the ISP, washes it and then passes it to outlook by running its own pop3 server on localhost or 127.0.0.1
Do you run client based anti spam (Mcafee retail version does it this way I think)
