Hello, I have recently been getting an intermittent error, usually after a
period of inactivity. When I open OE (I only use it for email, not
newsgroups), I immediatly get the following error:
Configuration
Protocol: HTTPMail
Port:0
Secure(SSL):0
Code:80004005
Sometimes when this error occurs, I am able to open OE many times although
getting this error each time, othertimes I am not able to open OE again,
getting a message saying that another instance of OE is already running.
This is when I reboot. Rebooting, and/or resetting windows does get OE to
function properly, until the next period of inactivity. My email account is
on hotmail, which has been working successfully for a long time now. I am on
DSL, which seems to be working just fine. I can relate that this problem
started shortly after a windows update a couple of weeks ago. I am not sure
what exactly was updated, as it is done automatically.
