Topic: Outlook Express Problems

[deschooling]

I am not getting any mails delivered through my ISP.
I am getting this message:

"Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Account: 'pop.tiscali.co.uk', Server: 'pop.tiscali.co.uk', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '+OK 499 bytes', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F"

Any ideas? I haven't had any mails delivered for days.

I would guess that this is an issue you will have to take up with your ISP.  Have you not used the account for a while?  Sometimes ISPs block accounts after long periods of inactivity, but these can usually be re-activated.

Also, please refer to this thread.

Hi Deschooling and  

If this is your active isp and you are trying to download from another connection, this could be causing the problem.

If it is a connection you haven't been using for a long period you should try logging on. If you cannot log on to the isp then it's possible they have suspended your account. You can re-activate it no problem, especially if it is a PAYG account.

Lona's got a point, DS.  Check that your dial-up phone number hasn't been changed, by looking in the Properties bit.
