I have Outlook 2000 on a Windows 2000 PC set up for internet email. I connect using a LAN. The email server is on our network but is for Groupwise. It accepts the pop3 connections from the Outlook client most of the time.

Sometimes I get a mail delivery error. The error is: "Unable to connect to server. (Account '{My Name}', POP3 server: '{the servers IP address}', error number: 0x000ccc0e)."

How can I resolve this?

I have 3 suggestions.

1. I'm thinking here that the client could be acting up or corrupted, you may want to re-install it.
2. That you are experiencing heavy network traffic or server NIC is acting up/upgrade driver!, or your switches are not keeping a correct MAC address table accurate.

The reason I say that is because you are getting in but sometimes you are just not hitting the ip address of the e-mail server. I have seen cases where this has happened.

Thanks for your input. Unfortunalty I cannot even touch the server side of this issue. That will make it tough to follow suggestions 2 and 3. Someone else at the company administers the server and it's out of my hands. I did try re-installing the client software and had no luck. Thanks!
