outlook timed out and will not receive?

[Guest]

Receive the following error everytime:

Task 'Work-Receiving' reported error (OX8004210A):'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).'

What are your server timeouts set to be? How often are you polling for mail?
Do you have antivirus scanning incoming/outgoing email?
What version of Outlook are you using?

Yes, AT&T antivirus/spyware/firewall
Outlook 2003

Setup the virus/spam scanner to NOT SCAN email, either incoming or outgoing.
There is no need for email scanning in the first place. The first time you
try to do ANYTHING with an email attachment, print it, copy it, save it,
read it, or anything else, the resident part of ALL virus scanners will scan
it and NAIL it, if its infected. The only thing email scanning is really
good at doing is screwing up email services.
