Outlook or Outlook Express? If Outlook, post to a newsgroup listed below. If
OE:

Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer
of protection that eats up CPUs, slows down sending and receiving, and
causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes
and has even been responsible for lose of messages. Your up-to-date A/V
program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more, see:

Note that for some AV programs, it may be necessary to uninstall the program
and reinstall in Custom Mode and opt out of e-mail scanning when the option
arises.

Hi I'm using Outlook Express 6. Everything has been working fine for
awhile.
I rebooted my computer it ran a check disk and ever since May 7th, I can't
receive emails. I can send them but can't receive them. All my settings
are
the same. I can get my emails using web mail, but not Outlook. Here is the
time out error msg I get:

A time-out occurred while communicating with the server. Account:
'mail.comcast.net', Server: 'mail.comcast.net', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110,
Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC19

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
