I am getting this message more and more lately. "The
connection to the server has failed. Account: 'mail.comcast.net', Server:
'mail.comcast.net', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Socket
Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E"

If I wait awhile ,5 to 120 minutes,I may get connected.The isp says it is a
Microsoft problem.I tend to agree since the message comes up so fast and
doesn't give chance for connection.
I have Norton antivirus,which I have disabled and I use windows firewall
which I have disabled.
I can ping the isp and all is ok.
Does anyone have any answers.
