pop3 server response

[Guest]

When opening outlook recently it has been saying my pop3
server hasn't respoded in 60 seconds and asks if I would
like to wait longer for the server to respond. but
sometimes it goes right through. is there any reason why
this might be happening. i can only get e-mail about 60%
of the time. any help would be greatly appreciated.

You're not running OL, are you? That isn't an OL error, it's an OE error
(someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I've never seen a 60-second timeout
error from OL). Therefore...

This newsgroup is for support of Outlook 97, 98, 2000, 2002 & 2003 from the
Office family for Windows PCs. For Outlook Express (OE) support try posting
in one of these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.inetexplorer.ie4.outlookexpress for OE 4.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x
microsoft.public.internet.mail.mac for the Macintosh version of OE

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).

Also a good source of Outlook Express info can be found here:

But it's nothing to do with OL or OE - it's a server issue, talk to your
ISP.
