I've been using Eudora for many many moons

Today, I can't get any messages
All I get is error 10053-timeout or other failure
or 10054-connection reset by remote side

So, I try to set up email using outlook
That gives me error 0x800cccof-server responded +ok 1243 octets
(whatever that means)

firewall - zone alarm
winxp


any ideas? - I don't have a clue

Have you contacted your ISP? Perhaps they made some changes server-side
that you missed (or they didn't tell you)? Perhaps they are having
network problems? At least rule out mail server problems before you go
messing around in your own system.

Disable you AV email scanner. You will still be protected.

MickeyMouse offers 8 possible solutions to your problem. All of them require
much screwing around without any guarantees of success when trying to
figure out which is the possible problem ...

Have fun! Just another example of how inept Windoze is when it comes to
itemizing errors and possible fixes. Then again, we all know what an easy
O/S Windoze is to use. :)

Disable email scanning by your anti-virus application. It provides no
additional protection and even Symantec says it's not necessary:

<paste>
Disabling Email Scanning does not leave you unprotected against viruses that
are distributed as email attachments. Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect 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 Auto-Protect is providing the maximum protection, keep
Auto-Protect enabled and run LiveUpdate regularly to ensure that you have
the most recent virus definitions.
</paste>

You DO realise that Outlook Express isn't fooled any more by your pathetic
attempt to crash it?

What a loser!
