Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Something's up with my Outlook Express: When I go online it starts up as normal says "receiving mail..." then does nothing for a couple of minute before displaying this: A time-out occurred while communicating with the server. Account: 'pop.tiscali.co.uk', Server: 'localhost', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC19 or, if I try again, this: There was a problem logging onto your mail server. Your User Name was rejected. Account: 'pop.tiscali.co.uk', Server: 'localhost', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC91 What's up with it? I can still send messages which seems odd and can read incoming via tiscali's site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted August 9, 2006 Author Share Posted August 9, 2006 On the subject of email software, does anyone use mozilla thunderbird and would they recommend it? I've been using firefox as my browser for over a year and have thought a couple of times of trying thunderbird as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've used it for over a year on 2 computers without any problems and would be intensive email users, we'd have hundreds of thousands of mails stored on each computer. I think it's possibly the first mail program that hasn't completely freaked out on me at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 45252 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I tried it for a while, but preferred Mac Mail. I also tried Entourage - Microsoft's mac version of Outlook and it's an absolute shambles of a programme. Keeps downloading emails 5 and 6 times, so my inbox on my computer is just jammed with duplicate copies of the same email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
