Error message when trying to retrieving emails.

Hi,
For some time now, maybe a couple of months, every time I go to download email from my btinternet address I get the following error message:
Unable to send or receive messages for the Btinternet (xxxxxxxxxx) account.
Server Error: 0x800CCC90
Server Response: -ERR inactivity timeout
Server: 'mail.btinternet.com'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800420CD
Protocol: POP3
Port: 110
Secure(SSL): No
I am receiving my email, but usually end up with multiple copies. My email setup hasn't changed since I started using this laptop 18 months ago so I'm puzzled as to what is causing the problem.
Anyone else experiencing this problem?
Solved!

Yes I'm still with BT.
My Btinternet address has always behaved differently to my other email addresses. For example, I know that I can't use it with Mailwasher. If I do, again, I would end up getting multiple emails because of email staying permanantly on the server and not being downloaded properly. But this was all sorted out when I first joined BT and has nothing to do with the current problem.
The only thing I can think of is that the problem is now being caused by Norton Internet Security when is scans incoming emails. I've fiddled with the settings and time will tell if it sorts the problem.
Thanks for your reply Keith.
Hi.
Indeed turn off email scanning, including for sending emails. There is no real need to have that facility, and it can cause the issues you are seeing.
The reason for multiple emails, is due to the timeout when trying to receive them. The task doesn't finish completely at the fetch "stage", so the end signal is not sent back to the server - so it thniks that  the emails have not actually been received - hence it will send them again.
As for Mailwasher - I use it wothout problem, so it sounds like NIS is causing an issue here too.

  • TS3276 error message when trying to send email

    On my Apple Iphone 3G, using Rogers as a cell provider, when an email came in and I tried to reply to it, it came up with an error message " A copy of this email has been placed in your outbox. The senders (me) address "[email protected]" was rejected by the server."
    I have checked all the settings and they are exactly the same as those on my computer mail settings. I can receive mail but cannot reply to this email.

    First unlock your caps lock key. Typing in all caps is inappropriate in online forums (considered shouting) and is hard to read.

  • Error Message  when trying to "Save Email as Activity" on Outlook 2007

    Hi all,
    This is a problem that we have logged with SAP, but they cannot find any reasons as to why we are having the problem. So I'm hoping someone here might be able to shed some light...
    After logging onto SAP through Outlook:
    When "Saving an email as Activity" using the Outlook ADDON, we get the following error message:
    AppName: bo_syncext.exe      AppVer: 8.0.0.49      ModName: bo_syncext.exe
    ModVer: 8.0.0.49      Offset: 000cc9d5
    This does not seem to work on any of our computers, except one!
    He is a Superuser, and he can save emails on his PC only.
    I can also save the emails, if I am logged on his computer, and am set up as a Superuser. I cannot if I am not a Superuser.
    He and I cannot send emails as a Superuser on my PC.
    This would lead me to think that it is a problem with our PC settings (security settings?).
    Has anyone else had this problem?
    Outlook version: 2007 (12.0.6514.5000) SP2 MSO (12.0.6425.1000)

    Hi
    I also have the same issue.
    I can save an email as an activity for only one user, this user is a super user.
    If i log on to that users machine as them, then sap as a user with the issue change them to a super user it works.
    However logged on to any other machine it won't work. We get the error message ;-
    Outlook itegration - error signature - AppName bo_syncext.exe, AppVer 8.0.0.49  Mod Name ntdll.dll ModVer 5.1.2600.3520
    Has anyone fixed this on a system ???

  • Get error message when trying to open email

    When I try to open my email I get an error message that says you are probably not logged on to the portal.  I have signed on to my email account.  I have restarted my computer, I have made sure that I am not on face time, I have also logged off and logged back onto my email account.  Is there a solution to this problem????

    try running mail assistant, you might have the wrong port selected some how.

  • Why am i getting error messages when trying to get email, why am i getting error messages when trying to get email

    For the last two evening, my email has not been coming through with Comcast email.  I get error messages like unable to verify user name and password or connection to the server has timed out.  I have done a soft reset, deleted the email account and reinstalled but nothing works.

    I had this same problem happen to me about 3 weeks ago or so. I'm with Rogers in Canada (iPhone 4).
    Out of nowhere I started having errors with both of my email accounts on my phone (Hotmail, Gmail) which I had been using without problem since I got the phone in October 2010. I tried re-entering settings, removing and setting them up from scratch again, all to no avail. First it was Hotmail but Gmail shortly followed. I could, however, check both of these emails via a browser on a computer, so I knew those services weren't both down.
    It also happened on two different wi-fi networks and with 3G.
    Then as sure as it started, it ended. It was after about 6-10 days that all my email returned to normal.
    If you've only had it happen for a few days now, I'd give it maybe another week and see if it goes away. I know this isn't a fix, and I was never able to find an explanation for the problem.

  • Can see list of old emails, but error message when trying to view message.

    Ok, after a Mail crash (10.4.1), there were no accounts listed and of course no old emails, sent or in the inbox, were visible.
    We reentered all the account info, as if we were starting anew, and now we are able to see the list of all old emails in the inbox and sent mailbox, but when we click on any message before the crash, we get this error message:
    The message from David Crandon, ([email protected]), concerning (the subject of the email), has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take the account online in order to download it.
    Now, obviously, the accounts are online because we can send and receive new emails with no problem, and of course, the old emails aren't going to be on the server anymore.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks.

    Well, didn't work. I spent an hour and a half just trying to get my 76yr old uncle to back able to drag and drop into the correct folder, and then trying to find the file when he didn't....!
    Anyway, it didn't work. After removing the Envelope Index file, and reimporting the messages, everything was the same. He could still see all his old emails in the list in Mail, but got the same error message when trying to view them.
    Then, we rebuilt the inbox, and now none of his old messages are visible! However, they are still on the computer.
    All his old emails are ".emlx" files and if we click directly on one of them, then Mail will launch and display the message properly in it's own window. But again, we get the above error message if we try to view it by selecting it from the message list in mail.
    One interesting thing...in the Library->Mail folder their are two folders, "Mailboxes" and "Mailboxes.mbox". Both at the same level. It's the Mailboxes.mbox folder that has all his old emails. Although all the old ones have the suffix ".elmx". In the Mailboxes folder are all the new emails since we reset all the prefs in Mail after the crash a couple of days ago.
    Anymore help please to get mail to recognize all these old emails?
    Thanks,
    David

  • I get an error message when trying to sign into the support community with another Apple id. On the pick a username screen I get "an account utilizing this address already exists...." despite trying a few usernames. Anyone know how I can resolve this?

    I get an error message when trying to sign into the support community with another Apple id. On the <pick a username> screen I get "an account utilizing this address already exists.Only one account per email address is allowed on the Apple Support Communities" despite trying a few usernames. Anyone know how I can resolve this?

    This problem has been driving me demented. The instructions that Ivan gives have partially worked for me. By following his link
    "How to find out if you have multiple Apple IDs" I was able to identify that yes I did have two apple accounts using the same e mail address. One was very old that I used to use for the forum boards and one is my much more recent ID that I use for everything these days. So I changed the e mail address for the old account which is associated with these discussion boards and that's the account that I am now posting this from. However even though the two accounts now have different e mail addresses when I try to log onto the boards with my more recent main apple ID I still get all the same errors as described at the start of this thread by rodgers_j. And of course that's the one I want to use so that I only have one itunes account for everything.
    So if anyone has any more hints I'd be very grateful.

  • Error message when trying to install Flash 10.0.45.2

    I am running IE 7 on windows XP. We had some issues with Flash active active control version 10.1.53.64 and higher so I unistalled 10.1.53.64 and downloaded the older version (10.0.45.2) from the adobe website but when I try to install it I get the following error "The version of Adobe Flash Player that are trying to install is not the most current version. Please visit http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer to obtain the latest more secure version". I am however able to install version 9.0.289.0
    Is there any particular reason that i cannot install 10.0.
    The reason that I don't want to use 10.1 is because it has a bug that affects the working of my application and the audio some times does not play.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the information. I downloaded the Active X from the link you provided but I am still getting the same error message

    If I remember correctly, there were two different installers for 10.0.45.2: one that did the checking for a newer version, and one that did not.
    The forum search is currently disabled, and I cannot find the topics that were discussed at the time.
    However, I still have the installers for the non-check version available for download on my servers:

  • User gets an Content Encoding Error message when trying to access workspace

    Hi.
    I've created a workspace and added several users to it who can access it without any issues.
    However, one specific user (Leslie Elstad - https://beehiveonline.oracle.com/teamcollab/profiles/[email protected]) can't access her workspaces. She is using Firefox on a Solaris 10 machine.
    Here is what she told me:
    "I clicked on the Start button under Team Workspaces, which took me here:
    https://beehiveonline.oracle.com/teamcollab/
    and displayed the familiar Content Encoding Error message."
    Please advise.

    Hi.
    Please let me know what is going on when we add people to a Beehive Online group (Solaris Curriculum).
    People are frequently getting this same error/message when trying to access several workspaces.

  • Error message when trying to open windows7 via vmwarefusion.

    error message when trying to open windows7 via vmwarefusion.;
    Unable to open file "/Users/geraldw/Documents/Virtual Machines.localized/Windows 7.vmwarevm/Windows 7-000016.vmdk": The system cannot find the file specified.
    I've completely uninstalled vmaware fusion. and would like to install a new copy of windows7 plus my vmware fusion3.0 that I have on a disk. I wonder if windows7 is still buried in my mac hard drive somewhere?  I can see some windows files on my mac but they appear a gray and can not be accessed. Could there be a problem installing a new copy of windows through boot camp?   It seems to do so wouldn't be a clean install as I suspect that windows 7 is still on the drive somewhere. I've tried to follow the path the file I listed above, but nothing comes up.  I'm almost certain  it was accidentally deleted completely from the hard drive as it was quarantined while using Clam X anti-virus. I'm a relatively new mac user and long time PC user, but a computer genius I am not. I don't want to have to reformat the whole mac machine and lose my current files, etc.
    I've uninstalled vmare completely and reinstalled, it, but the problem persists.
    Any help?

    You will probably get a better response asking this question in VMWare's forums for Fusion.
    Best of luck.
