Outlook 2007 can't send/receive after VISTA upgrade from MSFT 12 J

[Rob-San Diego]

One of our family PC (HP 81xx series) running VISTA received a flurry of
updates from MSFT on 12, 13, 14 June. This killed inyernet access (via cable
modem on time-warner). Prior to upg, all was a-ok. perfect, then the updates
for WIndows, Security and Office 2007,

After updates, the PC couldn't access internet via Explorer or Outlook 2007.
However, all other pc's in the house laptops, desktop's a couple of mac's
could access with no problems.

So, fo desktop buggered up by MSFT, I was able to back out a number of
updates and get my internet connectivity working for IE v7 and the subsequent
update pushed down ....and ..YES i turned off auto update after the this
happened

I've been backing out all the updates starting with most recent and working
back in time. Nothing seems to fix this issue.

Current status:
The desktop in question....
1) can access web via IE 7 or IE 8 (i rolled back to 7 today and it works ok)

but the desktop can't ...
2) connect to my email provider(s). I get the infamouse Send/Receive Errors!

I reconfigured the settings and same error.
I moved the PST file to a new folder, thought that may have been issu so I
moved it back still same issue.
I created new PST, created new email server connection settings, same problem.

Any ideas how to cpontinue to debugging without wiping throwing it out and
replacing with a mac? (and i don't care for mac's only tolerate them because
the kids got them at school )

The may well be infamous, but unless you spell 'em out - folk around
here are just guessing. Be specific!

And... Outlook 2007, but Vista what?

MSFT VISTA Upgrades. over 40 of them were pushed down to this PC on 12 June
through 14 June.

The Desktop using IE 7 or IE 8 can access internet but when I try to
send/receive EMAIL it fails to connect to email hosts.

What are the errors? What do they say? They would be the key to the problem.

Yeah, that would make things easier.....here it is...

Task 'mail.'myemail.host.com' - Receiving' reported error (0x8004210A) : 'The

operation timed out waiting for a response from the receiving (POP) server.
If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or
Internet service provider (ISP).'

browsing other postings on this forum, i turned off Norton Firewall email
scanning and it worked, i re-enabled and it still works. Go figure.

This after I backed out all the updates from MSFT since 12 June. I'll
re-intorduce each update from MSFT and see if one of them hangs email again.

i am having the same problem on a Dell Studio running Vista. Suddenly
outlook cannot connect to email services - both godaddy hosted and comcast -
no sending and no receiving. No problem with Internet IE8 - I only have
problems with Outlook 2007. Very upsetting.

i fixed the problem by turning off Trend Micro firewall and virus scan - the
emails started flowing in - and then i turned the security back on - and the
email keeps coming. I read someone else had done the same thing with Norton.
Looks like MSFT has a problem with their upgrades to Vista/Outlook - that
temporarily screws-up Outlook send/receive. Ver frustrating given noone
seems to realize the issue - at the many help lines that I called.....

Are you using a wireless router? Is it Linksys? You may have to adjust the
MTU setting.
