I have has a similar problem for a couple of days now. I am using Outlook. I
can send messages but the receiving process takes a long time then times out
incomplete. This is the error message that keeps appearing in the
send/receive message box:
"Task 'mail.btinternet.com - Receiving' reported error (0x8004210A) : '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)."
Consequently emails are coming into my Yahoo mailbox and staying there.
However, last night Outlook suddenly started delivering the emails ibut n a
loop. So it delivered the same 42 emails 4 times until I shut it down. Today
it's back to not delivering emails but continually bringing up the error
message.
I contacted our service provider, BT Yahoo, but have had no response
whatsoever.
Any thoughts??
