I'm getting the following error when Windows Mail attempts to send or recieve
mail using the Windows Mail client or Windows Live Mail (it used to work just
fine).
Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for
this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of
inactivity. Account: 'XTRA', Server: 'pop3.xtra.co.nz', Protocol: POP3, Port:
995, Secure(SSL): Yes, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F
Unfortunately error 0x800CCC0F appears somewhat generic and nothing I do
gets rid of it. My initial reaction is that there is a server problem, but
this isn't the case. I've tried all the recommended client side things (check
your network config, mail settings etc). I can telnet to the pop3 and smtp
ports. I can run a smtp diagnostic utility
(http://www.whitepeaksoftware.com/) successfully with exactly the same
settings fail for Windows Mail and Live Mail. WIndows Mail/Live Mail both
still work when using non secure (SSL) mail servers. My ISP only allows pop3
and smtp over SSL, so this isn't an option.
My theory is that Windows Mail and Live Mail share some Windows SSL code
that the smtp diagnostic utility doesn't. My problem is that I have no way of
proving this, let alone fixing it. Is there anyone that can shed some light
on this? Can I "reinstall" Windows Mail? Perhaps run mail in some sort of
diagnositc mode? My next step will be to load Thunderbird and give up on
Windows Mail. 8-(
I'm running Wndows Vista Home Premium, using Windows OneCare for anti virus,
spam protection and firewall. I've tried removing OneCare and turing off
the Windows firewall. No change.
Thanks in advance.
