Solve : outlook 2003 not connecting to mail servers? |
|
Answer» Hello all and thanks in advance. I built a new computer due to mobo FAILURE with all new parts except the tower. I havea fresh install of xp pro -sp3 and office 2003 -sp3 and all available updates installed. I had norton NIS 2009 installed but uninstalled it to verify it was not the problem. I am also using IE8. LINKSYS router. Here is my problem: OUTLOOK 2003 cannot connect to mail servers. I have tried gmail and yahoo, using various smtp ports 25, 465, 587, and pop 995, 993. When I clck test settings it gives: /-establish network connection completed X-find outgoing mail server cancelled X-find incoming mail server cancelled With a send/Rx i get an error 0x8004210A pop timeout error. I can get into the email accounts through their webpages ok. I can ping the mail servers through a cmd box. My laptop on the same network connects fine through outlook express. Everything was working before the other computer crashed. Is there a way to check and see if outlook is being blocked by SOMETHING? Again thanks. It wasn't any of my settings or firewalls. It all had to do with slipstreaming xp3 into my setup disc and removing outlook express. After installing OE, it all works EXACTLY as it should without any other setup or changes. Thank you and good night. Strange.... |
