I use AOL dial-up and have it connected while using Outllook. I have configured Outlook according to AOL's instructions. When retrieving mail from AOL I get an error: 'Unable to connect to the server'. My outgoing mail is sent just fine. Any suggestions

Thanks
Jeff
 
Do you have the proper inbound server name? Check it for spaces and typos.
 
Jeff,
hi. it might be helpful if you listed what you put in all the fields. i have aol dialup and am presently using outlook 2003 sending and receiving.

and you created an IMAP account type?

Try making a fresh new profile (control panel, mail applet) and see if it
works.
 
I reconfigured Outlook iaw with AOL.help article #217454 ('How do I use Outlook 2002 to read and send AOL e-mail?'). I still have the same error (0x800CCC0E) 'Unable to connect to server'

When configuring this account, under 'More settings'/'Connections'/ I selected 'Connect using my phone line'. If I am already connected via AOL while using Outlook, would this setting need to be different???

that setting has nothing to do with the error... are you using firewall
software?

Click to expand...
Yes, it should be different: It should be LAN no matter what kind of connection you use.
 
I switched to the LAN setting and now I get a window asking for my username and password that keeps coming up even after I click OK.
 
I've got the same thing as Jeff Cundiff describe but mine was with outlook 2003
Any luck in solving it?
