Hi all,
Have had some serious issues with Outlook 2000 over the last 2 days, and am now at my wits end (I know, short drive and all;))
Here's the story:
accessing mails Yesterday morning was all but impossible. Resources were at 100% as soon as I attempted to check mails. If I shut down (Ctrl+Alt+Del) Outlook, and even closed the ISDN connection, my resources stayed used, and I ended up having to reboot to get normal functionality on my system. Now, I am just getting an "Unable to connect to the Server. Error number: 0x800ccc0e" error message. I am getting this message for all 3 accounts I have setup, 2 of which use totally different POP servers. None of my account or dialup information had changed. I can send on both accounts. Yesterday, I was able to check mails using Mailwasher, but today, I get the same error from Mailwasher as I do from Outlook. In Outlook Express, I get a Socket Error: 10061, and I have been told that is a disallowed Port, maybe blocked by a firewall. Since I have ZA shutdown, that is not the case, and I ran netstat -an which listed my ports, and the ones that were necessary (25 to send and 110 to receive) were set to listening, which is normal.
Since I am getting this from the one machine, but is affecting 3 mail checking applications, I can only assume that there is some dll or something that controls accessing mails, and that may be corrupt. I ran SFC, but came up with nothing.
Nothing has been installed lately, full AV scan was accomplished with no bad results. Spybot reports no malicious programs.
I can receive mails through another machine to those accounts, so I know that the accounts are correct.
Anyone with any ideas????
Win98SE, Outlook 2000 SP3, OE5.5, Mailwasher latest version.
Thanx!
