Can anyone tell me what the cause of it could be or how to fix it? I hate going to the webmail to get my mail. I keep getting this error message when I try to download. "The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'bargains4wahms', Server: 'pop.east.cox.net', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E" Any ideas on what this means? This is driving me crazy! Thanks ~Icy~

Hi Icyorchid, If this is working before then maybe your POP3 server is just down at the moment else check your POP3/SMTP configuration and make sure that it is valid. To set it go to [Tools][Accounts] Mail tab, select you account and press [Properties] button. In its property window select Server tab check POP3, SMTP and account login. Hope this helps.
