HI, well, I have spent the last week trying to fix or repair my Outlook
Express connection. Here is what I did in conjunction with help from my
ISP. I removed and reinstalled IE6 and Outlook Express, used every
antispyware proggie known to get rid of all that junk. I formed a new
identity, changed all the dbx etc. files to negate that possible
problem. In other words, all that can physically be done to eradicate
this error, the 11001 port and the other one, please don't ask me to
look that up again, as I would have to go way way back, haah!

So, bottom line, none of if worked. I am still getting the error
message when Outlook Express tries to connect but I can hit Send and
Receive and it works, and stays working until I shutdown and then it
occurs as soon as I go online again. Personallly I think it is on my
ISP end, something causing the port to close when going to check new
messages. They say it isn't but how can it be my computer? My
experience is when these routings or rootings get established they can'
t be changed unless a complete wipe of hard drive or some other drastic
measure is taken. So, last appeal, my OS is Windows 98SE, I connnect
via modem. If you can come up with some other method I need to be
making then please direct me. Also, thanks for all the assistance, much
appreciated, Derek

No error message. No reference to an earlier post. No information by which
to know of what you speak.

OTOH, I see something which you have not _said_ that you tried. Did you
overlook enumerating this, or did you not do this? Turn off your email anti
virus checker. Not the memory resident, on access scanner, just the email
scanner. Lots of folks have found that to fix MSOE mail problems.

Where did you post your HijackThis log?

Did you turn off email scanning in your anti-virus?

Did you uninstall any anti-spam software?

Was you ISP smart enough to know that you have to delete the Identities and
Internet Account Manager subkeys as well when uninstalling OE. If not, you
have the same subkeys which could be causing the problem.


You leave out a lot of details such as the exact error message, AV software
or anti-spyware software being used to scan or in some cases the ISP not
telling anyone they're only supporting web mail only (Calldialog.net) and
not bothering to tell their tech support as well apparently.

Port 110 is for receive and port 25 is for send.
