Hi, can anyone help? I'm trying to check email and getting the following
error message:

Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for
this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of
inactivity. Account: 'mail.btopenworld.com', Server: 'mail.btopenworld.com',
Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F

I know that the modem/internet connection is working okay (since i'm
connected right now to send this!) but not sure what to try next to fix it...

Cheers

Also if you have a web interface to login like you do for Yahoo. Test if the
User account is not disabled due to inactivity.

Try change the timeout settings first.

Open Outlook Express | Tools | Accounts | Mail tab | Select Mail account |
Properties | Advanced tab .. move the Server timout slider towards Long.
