I use ATT Worldnet thru an outside DSL provider (Verizon). I can receive
mail just
fine (so no POP problem). But SMTP is screwy and I do not know why. This
began happening last night -- intermittently. Today -- nothing will go out.
(I have had this system, Worldnet + VZ DSL, for two-three years, and never
had this problem before. Using Outlook XP with WinXP. The Verizon mail
works perfectly)
here are the two errors I get (sometimes one, sometimes the other, sometimes
both):
1
Task 'albert - outlook - ipostoffice.worldnet.att.net - Sending and
Receiving' reported error (0x800CCC7D) : 'Your outgoing (SMTP) server does
not support SSL-secured connections. If SSL-secured connections have worked
in the past, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider
(ISP).'
2
Task 'albert - outlook - ipostoffice.worldnet.att.net - Sending and
Receiving' reported error (0x800CCC0F) : 'The connection to the server was
interrupted. If this problem continues, contact your server administrator
or Internet service provider (ISP).'
Here's what I have tried to remedy this problem:
I have done a "detect and repair" on MS Office -- no improvement in
Outlook's flaky behavior.
I have changed no settings. I have gone to the relevant ATT Worldnet Help
page and double checked all my settings -- and they appear just fine.
Further inscrutable weirdness -- I asked Outlook to verify that the
settings worked, several times -- and each time it said things are OK --
Outlook successfully sent a test message using the settings, and sure
enough, it came back to me when I did a send/receive with Outlook --
[mocking me no doubt, by informing me that all was well]). (So if the
error messages I placed above are accurate -- how in the world does it
successfully send its test messages??)
So, I then, I deleted my primary ATT account and totally rebuilt it
according to to ATT's specs.
After that, a test message I used out went fine. Hooray, I thought. Nope.
After that, back to the same behavior (i.e., everything I described above).
(A last detail. Not sure that this would be relevant, as my problems did
not begin until some 6+ hours after I did this --- Yesterday I upgraded my
router firmware [a Linksys BEFRS11] from 1.44 to 1.46. )
I am stumped (and annoyed, to say the least). Any suggestions, ideas, help
will be most appreciated.
TIA
