Intermittent "Cannot Log-On to Incoming POP3 Server"
This issue is random but consistent;
Me with Office XP Outlook 2002 NOD32 AV BellSouth ISP Can see ( 5) 1-9 kb emails in ISP server window but they (today) / sometimes won't move to Outlook '02 Inbox- Timeout Can't log-on to POP3 server msg (Time-out at 2 min) ; Wife's Plus My BellSouth Email addresses BOTH dump to Outlook '02 and Settings Confirmed as Correct (In-Out server names-passwords, etc.); In past simply deleting an email in ISPserver has caused other emails to Move Into Outlook but not all times; Send-Rec Status may go from 50% to 70% but nothing is moving over to Outlook as it usually does ( starts at 50% when wife has no emails) Asian BLS help desk no help! Any ideas on what to try?? Many Thanks!! |

Thanks, Mike. For anyone who experiences same, a 2nd BLS Help Desk guy had me
Delete "my" email address Set-up and Re-Enter Same Data. Typical of computer life, the emails began flowing.

A program such as the free Magic Mail (http://mmm3.sourceforge.net/) can be useful and help where the problem is due to a large possibly unwanted message on the mail server with Magic Mail able to delete unwanted mail from the server without having to download it. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Craig S wrote: This issue is random but consistent; Me with Office XP Outlook 2002 NOD32 AV BellSouth ISP Can see ( 5) 1-9 kb emails in ISP server window but they (today) / sometimes won't move to Outlook '02 Inbox- Timeout Can't log-on to POP3 server msg (Time-out at 2 min) ; Wife's Plus My BellSouth Email addresses BOTH dump to Outlook '02 and Settings Confirmed as Correct (In-Out server names-passwords, etc.); In past simply deleting an email in ISPserver has caused other emails to Move Into Outlook but not all times; Send-Rec Status may go from 50% to 70% but nothing is moving over to Outlook as it usually does ( starts at 50% when wife has no emails) Asian BLS help desk no help!

I spoke too soon. This a.m. my emails would not move over. The minute I
Deleted my wife's address from Outlook to leave just mine the emails moved right over. I re-entered her data and will advise what happens when the nerxt batch of emails comes in.

By Deleting Both sets of Email Account Set-up Data and Re-Entering the same,
all appears well now. Go figure! Thanks again, Mike, for the Reply- "Craig S" wrote: I spoke too soon. This a.m. my emails would not move over.
