See here: http://helpme.att.net/article.php?item=10918 Also, unknown errors are often due to interference from an antivirus program. What if any antivirus programs, antispyware programs, firewall programs, and other security programs do you have? |

| | Re: I can't receive mail either -- error message 0x80004005 Your email settings look fine. Perhaps some third party security program (antivirus, anti-spyware) is not compatible with SP1. Uninstall the third party security programs one at a time to find the culprit. If all else fails, you can try upgrading to WLM: http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (WLMail) "Burt" <Burt@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:FCB17D53-6542-4337-A2FB-78287A407682@xxxxxx Quote: > For the last few days, I think since I installed SP1, I can't get email. > This is the error message: > An unknown error has occurred.
