tuppence Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Hi,Just wondered if anyone here can solve a problem I am having. I always log on each morning to Outlook Express to check e-mail. Today for no apparent reason I get a message as follows 'The connection to your server has failed. Acct 'yahoo.co.uk', server 'pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk'. Protocol: POP3, Port 110, Secure (SSL) No. Socket error 10060, error number 0x800CCC0E' I have run Regcure 3 times which is supposed to clear this problem, closed the system down 3 times and still I can't receive e-mails in Outlook Express although I can send out. My incoming e-mails, I can find in the Yahoo mailbox. Previous to this I had an error message 0x800ccc90e, but that contained a reference to AVG which I was advised to uninstall. So I did. And now I am getting this other message. Confused, you bet I am. Any help gratefully received PLEASE!!tuppence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmt Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Annoying, but there's not much to be done about it. Yahoo are apparently going through another one of their 'phases' -- last time it was difficult to send. I have been unable to collect from pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk today; yahoo.fr is working properly. No doubt it will come back in a day or two.Mail is still readable on the website, of course, and when the POP service resumes, Outlook will catch up with your Yahoo inbox.

tenniswitch Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 What a nuisance for you. When email suddenly goes wonky like that, it's almost always an ISP server problem. Usually there's nothing you can do except wait it out. I know Google was having probs last week, and my DH was w/out email for 4 days the week before that when his ISP had a server hardware failure (it took them 3 days to figure it out).

tuppence Posted August 21, 2008 Author Share Posted August 21, 2008 Thanks for the replies, having looked at the Yahoo website there are 100's of people with the same problem. I changed to Yahoo.fr and all e-mails are now coming in . Will check back at the weekend to see if co.uk is up and running.tuppence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
