Send/Receive Problems

[Guest]

I have been using Outlook 2002 for 2 years now with no issues. On Wednesday
my wife started having send/receive issues. I have confirmed with her that
no changes were made to the computer and nothing odd happened. When I
checked it out I found the same problem which resulted in an error message
that said it timed out waiting for a response. It should be noted that
checked internet conection and all is running normally. I went into Email
Accounts and did a test settings which failed as the server could not be
contacted. I checked and verified all settings and they are perfect. I
then disabled my firewall which has been running on this PC with Outlook for
years and the test setting then worked but the send/receive function still
had the same error message. I then tried Outlook Express and that worked
perfectly no send/receive issues. Needless to say I am confused. I did a
detect and repair which found no problems. I could use some help getting my
Outlook back up and running.

Thanks.

Hi Chris, I have a similar problem which started after installation of the
January security update for Outlook - KB 924085. My workaround is to
uninstall that update and hope that enough people will notice and complain so
that Microsoft can sort it.

Not a satisfactory position at all as my computer keeps trying to install
this 'critical' update.

There are a couple of threads now appearing in the forum relating to this
issue, but no solutions as yet.
