Mail not sending
Posted by admin on Feb 16th, 2007
I am using Windows mail and have not had any problems with my mail until I clicked on someone's email address. This opened Outlook and asked me to configure my mail and asked if I wanted to upgrade from Windows Mail. I went ahead and configured the mail. However, the mail wouldn't send and this error message came up "Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Subject 'does it work?', Account: 'Yahoo Mail', Server: 'smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F". I tried to send the message through Windows Mail and still the same happened. I have now removed my account from Outlook and there is still no difference. I'm stuck.

I had the same problem, so I checked the Yahoo Mail Help page and changed the ports & other info just as they had listed, and everything works fine now. Hope this will help you, Skye "hevghirl"

Are you getting the exact same error message in Windows Mail as the Outlook error message listed below? Make sure your antivirus program is NOT configured to scan email.Gary VanderMolen"hevghirl"

Yahoo Help can't help you since you don't have Yahoo mail. I replied to your original post about 5 minutes ago.Gary VanderMolen"hevghirl"

"hevghirl" 1. Go to the Vista start menu and type cmd 2. The search results will display a program titled cmd 3. Rightclick on the link and select "Run as administrator" 4. type "netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=disabled" without the quotation marks 5. Test your POP account and see if you can now download your mail. 6. If nothing changes, reenable the autotuning feature by typing "netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=normal"Also, this is often caused by an antispam program or an antivirus set to scan email. Turn off email scanning in your antivirus. It provides no added protection. After doing so it may be necessary to reset the server names in WinMail.The Other EMail Threat: File Corruption in Outlook Express Published: November 18, 2004 By Tom Koch microsoft.com/windows/IE/community/columns/filecorruption.mspxEmail scanning slows down Sending and Receiving, sometimes enough that OE times out. Since some of the received messages have large (often virus) attachments, which exasperates the problem. Some Comcast users have found it necessary to totally uninstall Norton and switch to the free AVG with mail scanning off. Norton invented email scanning and here's what they say:"Disabling Email Scanning does not leave you unprotected against viruses that are distributed as email attachments. Norton AntiVirus AutoProtect scans incoming files as they are saved to your hard drive, including email and email attachments. Email Scanning is just another layer on top of this. To make sure that AutoProtect is providing the maximum protection, keep AutoProtect enabled and run LiveUpdate regularly to ensure that you have the most recent virus definitions." service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/nav.nsf/d4578f66d8f00a0188256d4e006aaa94/4ba5fc8ef939c44c88256c7500723cf0"...your computer is protected if AutoProtect is enabled. AutoProtect scans any incoming files, including email attachments, when the files are saved to your hard drive." service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/nav.nsf/docid/2001100907323806"NAV provides multiple layers of protection. Email scanning is just one of those layers. Even if you are not running Email Scanning, your computer is protected against viruses that are distributed as email attachments by NAV AutoProtect. AutoProtect will scan any incoming files, including email attachments, as they are saved to your hard drive.

The newer stuff doesn't have the statement included as it was considered an embarrassment. If you know anyone who programs for Norton try to get them to talk about it.
