Connecting with Outlook 2003
Tiffer replied to Tiffer's topic in SpamCop Flat-Rate Email Account Setup
Jeff (and Steven) you are not going to believe this, I have not touched a thing on this computer by way of install/uninstall/updates, I just started up Outlook to see if a particular mail I was expecting was in the INBOX using the IMAP connection, the whole pack of POP3 mail came through while Outlook sat there with a "who me?" smirk! <GRRR> I have to suppose it was something at my ISP or along the way, it is darned spooky! Re: telnet, that worked fine and logged in even so no problem there, but then, the problem seems to have fixed itself before I telnetted so no clues there. I've switched over to Opera so I can zoom the page up to 150% so back to "normal" size text. Thanks for your patience and do you know anywhere that does grey hair replacements for bald spots? %-) -

Does being registered blind count? ;-) I have limited vision in one eye, sorry if it jumps out at you from the screen. I hadn't realised there was a Repair option - running that now, thank you. Regards -

I moved all past messages to a Temp folder and let new mail arrive (it was after 3am after all ) and the same error code is being generated for the new mail. Email scanning has been disabled in NAV to no effect, even after a reboot, but I'm increasingly coming to the view that it is Outlook that is at fault <sigh> Thanks for you help Steven, much appreciated. -

guess who again %-) I put that error code: 0x80042108 through Google and came up with their http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...kb;en-us;318790 That puts the problem down to Symantec software Now I use Norton AV2004 not NPF or NIS which have been specifically indicated, and up until a couple of days ago, everything was working fine. I'm not aware of any recent updaates to NAV or Office. -

Even entering the actual IP address (purely for testing not permanent change), it comes up with that error again: Task 'Spamcop - Receiving' reported error (0x80042108) : 'Outlook is unable to connect to your incoming (POP3) e-mail server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).' I guess it's time to start killing off Norton Antivirus, etc. :-o -

Thanks for the swift response Steven. Ping resolves to the same IP address. I'll just go recreate the Outlook account ... ;-) -

Yes, no luck there. The error message Outlook comes back with is: "Task 'Spamcop - Receiving' reported error (0x80042108) : 'Outlook is unable to connect to your incoming (POP3) e-mail server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).' " Yet the mail server is correct, as far as I can see the settings are all correct.

Hope you can help, I am using the latest version of Outlook 2003 on XP SP2. In the last few days, I have had consistent errors connecting to download mail using POP3 from mail.spamcop.net I have tried deleting the account in Outlook and recreating it, but nothing seems to work. I can access my mail using webmail or by setting up an IMAP account in Outlook but I would prefer to download mail by POP3. Any assistance or suggestions appreciated, thanks.
