The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'pop.earthlink.net',
Server: 'pop.earthlink.net', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No,
Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E
 
I was finally able to get it to work my restoring my system to the point of
the SP1 installation. I guess SP1 is not removed but at least I can get my
email now. All email checking programs worked immediately after SP1 was
removed.
 
I just hope that when the final release of SP1 is out that it will install
correctly. I may have a ghost that can't be removed. Sure wish they
wouldn't have posted this beta version on the Windows Update site. I didn't
realize it was a beta until I read more about it afterwards. Lesson
learned. And I just reinstalled Vista a month ago since the system builder
didn't install it right about a year ago. I had a lot of problems but once
I reinstalled it myself all was well...well until SP1 beta!

Vista's SP1 was finalized and declared 'gold' on February 4th.
SP1 breaks current versions of several programs, including
Trend Micro Internet Security and Zone Alarm:

We haven't seen any direct effects on Windows Mail or Windows Live Mail.
 
Actually, I don't think it's a Windows Mail problem. Sorry. It has to do
with the connection to the Incoming Mail Server. After restoring my system
to the SP1 installation point, POP3 worked. Microsoft hadn't cleaned up all
reference to the Beta on their websites since I was still redirected to a
site that said SP1 would be issued in mid-March. This was yesterday.
Anyway, it appears I now don't have it installed and it is not available to
me. Can I redownload it so I can try it again?
 
I knew there was something amiss. Why was it posted on Windows Update?
Someone obviously made a mistake. I didn't know I was an official beta
tester. OK, so I've tested it and you have my report.
 
I really don't know how SP1 got on your computer, or whether
that was a beta or the final release. Hopefully you got it uninstalled,
so you'll be ready when it is released to the general public.
 
After I updated to SP1 (2 days ago - not he Beta), my Windows Mail and
Outlook both fail to send outgoing messages other than to my own ISP att
worldnet). Everything else times out in both Outlook and Windows Mail. This
is the error message:
Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes
for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of
inactivity. Subject 'Re: Looking forward to saturday nite(Passover)',
Account: 'Sam's ATT', Server: 'imailhost.worldnet.att.net', Protocol: SMTP,
Port: 465, Secure(SSL): Yes, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F
 
So, are you running any of the security software that has problems
with SP1, such as Trend Micro antivirus, or Zone Alarm?
Which AV are you using? When you get that send error, are you
using your home ISP connection?
