I started having a problem with outlook express 5.

I can post messages and receive them for my newsgroups, but am not able to
use my port 110 to receive mail, or port 25 to send.

Here is the error to receive:

The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'mail.xcelco.on.ca',
Server: 'mail.xcelco.on.ca', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No,
Socket Error: 10065, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

Here is the error to send:

The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'mail.xcelco.on.ca',
Server: 'mail.xcelco.on.ca', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No,
Socket Error: 10065, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

The settings are correct in the advanced tab.I can access my pop account through web mail ok. Any ideas on this? Brad

This could be a security issue that their is not a firewall between you and your ISP.Check to see if they support POP 3,also check your internet connections,click connections tab,by your email box click on settings and then make sure the box with proxy server settings is unchecked and then reboot to see if this helps.

There was a file you had to rename to fix tihs, but I can't remember what it was though. The other way to fix it was to remove the mail profile and add it back in.

I've also seen this generated from someone who loaded it up on a dedicated connection at towkr, but still configured the dialup. There is a place in the options to config this in addition to the location in the mail profile.

Good luck to you

nothing has changed. Other pc's on the LAN are fine. I am sure that this is computer specific....

This error can occur if you are running Dr. Solomons Net Guard. Please see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article Q195458
