Hi,

Am using Outlook on XP Pro SP 2 to retrieve new messages every 1 minute from
a pop server (Yahoo.co.uk) in order to process them automatically and I get
the timeout error message 0x8004210A about 5 times a day, at the same time a
logon box. Clicking OK on the logon box and on Cancel All on the timeout
message box solves the problem (until the next occurs). My guess is that this
is caused by network errors or some errors with the pop server (enabling
longer timeouts e.g. up to 1 minute seems to make no difference).
So I would say that the connection is actually quite reliable.
However if anyone can suggest how to programatically clear such error
messges, ideally from VBA (Excel), that would be most helpful (?)
