1430802 2017-01-19 20:39:00 I've seen 3 different computers this week, still on XP, with Outlook Express, I think all on Spark, and all suddenly stopped sending or receiving email with the 'server had unexpectedly terminated the connection' message . A different email client works fine, and a totally fresh OE profile with a new account has the same issue .

Anyone else come across this? Unsure if it's something Spark has changed, or something that's broken on OE .

Thanks!

1430803 2017-01-19 21:16:00 Just had a phone call from one of my customers (10am today) , Windows XP using OE, EXACT same problem and message on Spark.

looks like its something to do with Spark changing their emails as they have warned people about.

1430805 2017-01-19 21:49:00 I was thinking something like that would be the case. Makes sense. must be time to install Thunderbird. wratterus (105)

1430808 2017-01-23 12:50:00 Ah ha, I had identical thing with a lady's PC two days ago! OE just stopped working, so I put an icon on the desktop for her that takes her directly into her inbox on Spark Webmail. She was very happy with that arrangement!
