Able to send but not receive Emails

[Mousesurfer]

Hi there:
My computer just recently had a melt down and I just had to use my HP
Recovery Disks & reinstall all my software including - Microsoft Office Home
and Student . Now for some reason my Windows Mail Ver 6.0 has decided to no
longer receive incoming emails.

The error message it's giving me is as follows: "Your Server has
unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include
server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity.
Account:'POP.telus.net', Server: 'POP3.telus.net'; Protocol: POP3, Port 110,
Secure (SSL): No, Error Number 0X800CCC0F

My emal address for this account is: (e-mail address removed) I work off of
Windows Intenet Explorer 8 and my ISP is Telus (as I live in Calgary,
Alberta, Canada)

Yet....my Yahoo! Canada email account of (e-mail address removed) works fine????

Any ideas on how I can rectify this issue?

You say you "reinstall all my software including - Microsoft Office" yet
this newsgroup is for Windows Mail. Which one are you using and which one do
you want to use?

addresses, now that you've permanently posted both of them on the

"Unexpectedly terminated" is usually caused by interference from an
antivirus program. Which antivirus are you running?
As a minimum, email scanning in the antivirus should be turned off,
although that may not be sufficient to eliminate all bad effects.
In a worst case scenario, your antivirus may need to be uninstalled.

Email scanning in any antivirus should be disabled, for reasons
explained here:

If no improvement after disabling email scanning, consider upgrading
to Windows Live Mail, because it is less prone to suffering bad effects
from overly intrusive antivirus programs:

Gary: I am with Telus Security Services and it provides scanning of
Antivirus, Firewall, Anti-Spyware, Anti-Fraud, Phone, etc.

It also makes a mess as it did for this OP when scanning in and outgoing emails.You
do not need scanning of emails. The resident AV will stop anything trying to come
through anyway

Scanning of emails is one of the biggest problems for email clients.Even Norton
say's so

Server-based security is not a problem for Windows Mail.
Client-side security programs can interfere with Windows Mail.
