switch from dial-up to broadband and ie6 fails
Working under XP sp2, Internet Explorer 7, OE6
Over the weekend I switched from dial-up to broadband. OE 6 now fails to send or receive email and it has been so many years I cannot recall how to configure it anew. I get this error message: The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'pop3.email.msn.com', Server: 'smtp.email.msn.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E What am I doing wrong? Any advice? Question 2: since I am aware that Outlook Express probably has a short life span ahead, is now the time to switch to something else, like Outlook or Live Mail. I want to preserve my present email address. Thanks. Jim |

Jim The last time I setup OE to use MSN on broadband, the server address had to be: ://oe.msn.msnmail.hotmail.com/cgi-bin/hmdata after choosing HTML, not POP, mail. Check with your provider for the correct OE account settings. |

X-post to MSN Discussion
A1. See these threads in MSN Discussion newsgroup: http://snipurl.com/19euz A2. OE will continue to be supported as long as the OS you're running it in is. You cannot access your POP3 account in Windows Live Mail. -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (IE, OE, Security, Shell/User) James C.

Check with your provider for the correct OE account settings. The OP stated that he was using the legacy MSN SMTP and POP3 servers. Those should still work with a broadband Internet connection. They are common protocols, and they don't care about dial-up, DSL, satellite, or cable connections. |
