1194385 2011-04-14 01:56:00 Have you checked in google to see what it means ? Speedy Gonzales (78)
1194386 2011-04-14 01:58:00 yes, it has to do something with the pop3 but I think its correct: pop3.live.com mark1978 (13845)
1194387 2011-04-14 02:07:00 If its similar to the OE or Outlook error, a firewall maybe causing it. What firewall do you use. If youre using an anti virus program to scan outgoing email, disable it Speedy Gonzales (78)
