Outlook 2003 stopped receiving yahoo POP3 mail
by RGViYmll » Wed, 04 Jan 2006 10:38:04 GMT
I have been using Office 2003 on my laptop since June 2005. I had set up my
Outlook to receive my yahoo email. Everything has been working fine until
Friday! Now I am receiving this error message:
Task 'Yahoo Mail - Receiving' reported error (0x8004210A) : 'The operation
timed out waiting for a response from the receiving (POP) server. If you
continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or
Internet service provider (ISP).'
I have disabled my Norton Anti-Virus program but did not correct the
problem. I have tried creating a new email profile. That did not work either.
I have worked with my ISP and they couldn't fix the problem. They said that
Outlook was corrupted and I needed to uninstall and reinstall it. But then I
would lose all my data.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Debbie

The isp is full of {*filter*}- reinstalls rarely fix anything detect and repair
can't... so try detect and repair on the Help menu.
To verify - you have a paid yahoo account that supports POP3? Can you
connect to the account using OE?

Outlook 2003 stopped receiving Yahoo POP3 mail
by RGViYmll » Wed, 04 Jan 2006 13:15:01 GMT
Please forgive me if this is the second time you have read this. I posted a
question at approx. 5 PM PST and I still don't see it on the board so I am
asking again.
I have been using Outlook 2003 on my laptop since June 2005 without
incident. On Friday afternoon it stopped receiving email from my yahoo pop3
account. I receive the following message:
-------------
'Yahoo Mail - Receiving' reported error (0x8004210A) : 'The operation timed
out waiting for a response from the receiving (POP) server. If you continue
to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet
service provider (ISP).'
--------------
I have done the following:
- Created new email profile
- Disabled Norton Anti-Virus
- Contacted ISP
- Rebooted Wireless Router
The ISP said that Outlook was corrupted and I needed to uninstall and
restall Outlook. Before I do that does anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Debbie

i Diane:
Thank you for your response. Yes I have a paid DSL SBC Yahoo account
that supports POP3. I have been running Outlook successfully for 6
months, until Friday.
I just went into OE and set it up. I received the following errors:
--------
A time-out occurred while communicating with the server. Account:
'pop.sbcglobal.yahoo.com', Server: 'pop.sbcglobal.yahoo.com', Protocol:
POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC19
The host 'pop.sbcglobal.yahoo.com' could not be found. Please verify
that you have entered the server name correctly. Account:
'pop.sbcglobal.yahoo.com', Server: 'pop.sbcglobal.yahoo.com', Protocol:
POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D
-------
This same problem happened on my desktop computer and I wasn't able to
fix it. I didn't uninstall and reinstall. I had Geek Squad come out and
the tech told me that my 1.5 year old hard drive was failing. He said
that was my problem. I have bought the new drive but haven't put it in
yet.
I find it very suspicious that the same exact problem is happening on
two different computers.
Next Step: I will go to the help menu and try fix and repair.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks for your help,
Debbie

Open a command line window and enter
ping pop.sbcglobal.yahoo.com
to see if you get a response. If it was working fine until Friday, then I'd
suspect a server error
Without more evidence of a drive failure, I think the Gook Squad is feeding
you a line to get you to shop at Best Buy. Have you run CHKDSK on the
"failing" drive?
Yea, me too. That's why I think it's a server problem. If the PING works,
write back and we can try some other diagnostics. If the PING doesn't work,
then the server (or your PC's networking) has a problem.
