| Vista Home x64 | Live Mail quit working I have been using Vista x64 for a few months now with very few problems. This week Windows Mail quit working. I get this error: The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'pop-server', Server: 'pop-server.columbus.rr.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E I recently added Windows Live Messenger, but no other changes. I don't know if the mail problem started at the same time as adding Messenger. I use Norton 360 and COMODO Internet Security, and have had no problems for several months until this started this week. Today I added Live mail and get the same error: Unable to send or receive messages for the pop-server account. The connection to the server has failed. Server: 'pop-server.columbus.rr.com' Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0E Protocol: POP3 Port: 110 Secure(SSL): No Socket Error: 10061 Any help would be greatly appreciated by my wife...... (and me) I can get mail through the webmail server, so the account is working fine. |

I didn't re-install Norton yet because I've been thinking about going to Windows 7. I guess while I'm tinkering, I'll go to Win7 and then check my options for AV. Thanks again. James |
