Can't connect to my POP server

[Harry]

Hello there:

I'm the owner of my own domain and hence my domain mail
server. Thus my e-mail address would be
(e-mail address removed). The domain is hosted by register.com.
I can go to my e-mail box through the web (i.e., by
logging on to mail.mydomain.net; hoewever, since this
morning I can't get on through Outlook anymore. A box
keeps on popping up asking for the correct e-mail address
and password. I've gone through all the settings in
Outlook and verified them. Certainly nothing had changed.

Register.com said that if I can get on through the web,
then the mail box is working correctly and it's an
Outlook problem.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

Harry

Do you use an antivirus program that scans POP/SMTP mail? If yes, try
uninstalling it and give your mail another whirl.

Hi Harry, I too have had a similar problem today. I cannot
send or receive mail. When I go to outlook, a box pops up
saying error, Outlook cannot connect with
pop.sbcglobal.yahoo.net my server (SBC DSL). After 1/2 hour
on the phone with SBC, they claim nothing is wrong with the
server, its my computer or outlook. Since I don't know
much, maybe someone could answer me online. I cleared all
files, it worked for 10 seconds then nothing--for the last
4 days. Roselle

Yes; I have McAfee. I quit out of that and re-entered all
my mail info. That seems to have done it.

Thanks for the quick response.
