WRT54GX2 Outlook Express timeout after 30 seconds

Everything was fine for 9 months. Then, starting last week my WRT54GX2 SRX 200 Router began timing out my Sent email at 30 seconds using Outlook Express. I have no problem with incoming email size. Small emails would send, but not anything that took longer than 30 seconds. I am running (3) wired PC's and one wireless Notebook. The same problem exists on all of them. If I bypass the router and connect directly to the internet modum my Outlook Express works normal. I have tried resetting my Router but, still have the same problem. All my PC's share files and printers, but none can send emails bigger than what can fit in 30 seconds. I am at a loss for what to do. Does anyone have a fix?

I'm sorry for the late reply but today is my first day to this forum and I stumbled across this post and wanted to let you know I had heard of this once before and this was their solution. Don't know if it'll work for you but had to let you know about it.
You probably are already aware of this but, just incase, there is a menu in outlook express which controls the "sear timeout feature. I get there like this: Open outlook express, click 'Tools', 'Accounts' (choose the account you are having a problem with), click 'Properties' then choose the 'Advanced' tab. There is an option (slider) in which you can increase the timeout from short (30 seconds) to long (as much as 5 minutes...although this is a little excessive).
Don't know if this helps, but it's worth a try if you haven't already sent your equipment.

Outlook Express 6 (Win XP) 'Send/Receive' server p...

For the past few months 'Outlook Express 6' has been regularly reporting the following server communication errors when attempting to download messages from the mail server. (I download messages from two separate e-mail accounts)
The OE6 errors -
" o Message number 2 could not be retrieved. Account: 'X----- Account 1', Server: 'mail.btinternet.com', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR inactivity timeout', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800420CD
o Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Account: 'Y----- Account 1', Server: 'mail.btinternet.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F "
The errors usually appear after the initial start-up of Outlook Express or after the application has been dormant for some time. Generally, the first availbale e-mail message is downloaded and then the process halts and fails with the above errors reported. Subsequent 'Send/Receive' requests are usually successful but with duplicate copies of the first e-mail msg appearing in the Inbox.
I welcome any suggestions. Thanks.

Hello Keith,
Many thanks for sharing the search reasults for the 0x800CCC0F error.
I've now scanned through the responses, these generally indicate this error is a BT server side issue rather than an Outlook Express or Win XP problem. For me, this problem occurs regardless of e-mail msg quantity and/or email attachment size. My OE is configured to delete messages from the server after downloading them - so there is never a huge number of msgs to download throughtout the day - typically 1 to 4 per OE session.
Interesting to note that there's an increasing frequency of reponses reporting this problem within the past few months indicating an underlying 'problem' trend which isn't being fully resolved by BT Support.
I'm now experimenting with the Mozilla Thunderbird email app which so far doesn't report any issues when interacting with the BT mail server. However, I really would like to stick with Outlook Express and get back to reliable downloads from the mail server. As things were a few months ago.

Outlook express/Error occurred while launching. The end of file was reached

I can't get to my e-mail screen because this error message appears and won't
let me access outlook express after my classic enviroment 9 has loaded up.

David,
No solutipn yet, but I'm still hopeful. However, I would appreciate your comments on the following:
1. I still could not open Outlook Express, even after rebuilding the desktop--twice--and downloading it again. However, I just noticed that you recommended the use of a OS 9 CD, not a download. I'll look around for the CD if you feel that's the only way to go. Is it?
2. When I downloaded the OS 9 Outlook Express, the window said to copy it to my Hard disk. I assume that means just to drag the Outlook Express icon to the top of the Hard Disk icon. Is that correct?
3. If all else fails, what about those programs that have been around for years that facilitate the retrieval of otherwise lost files. Would such a program be helpful in this case? If so, can you mention a few of them? I want to retain some of those files, even if it means having to spend a hundred dollars or so for the necessary software.
4. Yes, such mishaps can indeed be painful. Fortunately, although I am a bit of a fumble-fingers, the problems I have encountered since I bought my set in 1999 as the result of such clumsiness have been few. It looks like I've been lucky, but that I am paying for it now.

Outlook Express - Not Deleting Emails In Mailbox

I still get emails on Outlook Express even after I select "On Mailbox & Handheld." Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Hello,
Sorry the above information (i.e. option 1) is wrong!
You need to set the option to Mailbox & Handheld.

I desperately need to send emails from Sage Accounts linked with Firefox and not Outlook Express. Tried everything

I am using Sage Instant Accounts and need to email customers their invoices directly. I have recently changed computer and upgraded Sage and I can no longer do this although could do it last week. I used to be able to go into email in Sage and Firefox would automatically come up with my contacts etc.
I think Sage looks to Outlook Express. If I delete Outlook Exp will that be an answer?
Have phoned Sage but they have no further answers. So need help as spent too much time!

I use Outlook so this might not be quite the same with Outlook Express.
After I set up an email account I can 'Test' the account settings which effectively sends a test email from the account to itself. If that is possible then check which way works i.e. the sending or the receiving of the email. If it is just the incoming part then this could be that you need to tick the box in the account settings that says 'My outgoing server requires authentication'.
Other than that check your incoming and outgoing servers which, if you're using btinternet should be both set as mail.btinternet.com, I also suggest you check your username and password.
Good luck!

After an automatic update yesterday, I can only print email (Outlook Express 6) headers but the messages do not print

After an automatic update yesterday, I started having problems printing emails from Outlook Express 6. The headers (e.g. To, From, Subject) print, but the messages do not print.

Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

Hi, I have an iphone 3GS from HK. After upgrading to 4.3.3 from 4.3.2 as prompted by itunes on May 10, 2011 my entire contact in my iphone was wiped out! When I checked my backup file in Outlook Express it was also wiped out!!! What can I do now?

Hi, I have an iphone 3GS purchased in HK. After upgrading to 4.3.3 from 4.3.2 as prompted by itunes on May 10, 2011 my entire contact in my iphone was wiped out. When I checked my backed up file in Outlook Express, it was also wiped out during the synchronization. I tried to restore from backup on iTunes but still, the contact was not there anymore. I have contacted your HK Apple Hotline and talked to a technical support called TIMMY LO, he said there is nothing to do with them and he refused to provide any support to recover my contact, he even said I should try to pay extra money to 3rd party supplier and see what they can do to my iphone, despite the fact that this could be caused by the pre-mature release of 4.3.3 when a bug still hasn't been fixed. I am very disappointed at Apple's service, especially considering that I have been a loyal customer of iphone / ipod touch in the past few years. I need an official reply from Apple on this! How can Apple be so irresponsible to their own firmware failure??

Outlook Express not always roused after sleep

Sometimes Outlook Express will not reactivate after sleep or after the computer has beeen inactive for a period of, say, twenty minutes. This is, however, a random problem and not chronic. When this happens I have to restart computer - closing and reopening Outlook Express does not solve the problem. Has anybody seen this before? All ideas welcome. Thanks

 Hi Hendry,
 Get in to weblogic console
 Click JTA from your left pane
 JTA and increase the timeout seconds there.
 Hope this helps you.

After an automatic update recently, I can only print email (Outlook Express 6) headers but the messages do not print. I now have Firefox 3.6.22.

Thanks John for the suggestion. I was finally able to dwonload the newest drivers today when I signed on. Seems like if you let one day go by Software Update will look at your version of the driver and will finally let you download the newest. That did not help. Nothing but communication errors. It would not even let me load the the new driver as it would no longer ever see the printer.
Yesterday, for further explanation, I was working at the computer when I heard the printer chime a few times. When I looked over the green light, which normally signals it is receiving a file to print, was flashing away. I was doing nothing and I finally had to turn it off. I spoke with another techie friend who is a big Mac user and has the same printer and he suggested it may be the USB circuit. This printer has been on for 5 years with a few days off. We have concluded the circuits are past their useful life and I will soon send the printer to be recycled somewhere. A new printer is on the way as I need this device.
Again, thank you for your suggestion and I will mark this solved due to mechanical failure.

Migration from Outlook Express loses everything after "group"

Hello,
I migrated from Outlook Express to Thunderbird on XP, then moved the files to Windows 8.
I had one "group" in my OE address book. Nothing after that group name (which began with an H) was migrated into the new address book. In other words, I lost everything after H.
I also have these contacts on Gmail. Is there an easy way to retrieve them from OE (I guess I could delete the group and start over, but that's a long process and I fear losing the mail I've already sent on TB), or is there an easy way to get them from gmail?
Thanks.
S

there are several solutions to your problem, which is best for you I do not pretend to know.
There is the option of simply copying the WAB file from outlook express to Windows 7 asnd double clicking on it to have it imported to the windows contacts folder. I have instructions here http://thunderbirdtweaks.blogspot.com.au/2013/12/windows-contacts.html that include the windows contact folder into Thunderbird.
Alternatively you can install one of the gmail contact sync add-ons. I use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/google-contacts

After transfer from XP to Win7 I can't see out Outlook Express folder

I am converting from running Outlook Express on Windows XP to running Thunderbird on Windows 7. I installed Thunderbird on my XP computer and ran the import from Outlook Express which created the Outlook Express Import folder which does contain all the emails I wish to retain. I installed Thunderbird on my Windows 7 computer and copied the profile folder over from Windows XP. Since the profile names were different I changed the value in the profile.ini file as well as in the settings parameter in Thunderbird to match this copied value. However, I do not see the Outlook Express folder from Thunderbird. If I navigate the folder structure under the profile I do see the Outlook Express import folders. Any help in gaining access to this data would be helpful. Since I still have all the data on my XP box I can if needed reinstall Thunderbird.

I tried what you recommended and really see no difference. Let me add something that may help. When I installed Thunderbird on the Win 7 PC it did create a profile (but obviously with a different name from the one created on XP). The changes I mentioned making was to point the Win 7 version to use the profile from XP. But I just thought of one thing, on Win 7 the path would use AppData but on XP it would be Application Data. I think that because if does not have the same path names it does not see the Outlook folder. So if the Thunderbird on my Win 7 PC is not fixable, what is the best way to transfer the profile and all my old folders from XP over to Win 7?

Does not return to inbox (Outlook Express) after following a link

Just installed Firefox (was using Internet Explorer) and am still using Outlook Express for mail. Under IE, if I clicked on a link from an email, I was returned to my inbox when closing the linked-to window. Now it does not automatically return so I have to manually get back to the inbox.

You're welcome! It's still a little awkward but I think it's the best way

Decode Attachment in OutLook Express .dbx with MimeUtility?

Hi boys,
I want to extract an attachment (encoded in base64 format) from outlook express .dbx file.
I construct 2 classes :
- the first extract from dbx file the attachment data and write it to disk.
- the second read from disk and decode with MimeUtility class (JavaMail).
The result is that the final file decoded is 600 byte less the original.
sigh!.
Can Anyone help me?
Thanks Emanuele
