In a work, in a LAN with MS Proxy 2.0 I cannot use Windows Mail. I don't know
why in versions prior to RC1 it works. After this, not.
All the others mails clients (OE, Outlook 97,2000,2002,2003, etc. ) works
fine in the same LAN
Any solution?

Thanks.

You don't tell us much.
What happens when you try?
Give us the complete text of any error messages.
 
The connection with a mail server never occurs.

This is the message (spanish)

No se pudo encontrar el host 'pop3.arnet.com.ar'. Compruebe el nombre del

Thanks
 
No, but every web pages works.
In all other mail clients I have in the same LAN, no pings but all works.
Windows Mail works until RC1 released.
 
Steve, it be that he may not have Telnet installed or understand how to add
it.

By default, Telnet is not installed with Windows, but you can install it by
following the steps below.

To install Telnet Client
Click the Start button , click Control Panel, click Programs and Features,
and then click Turn Windows features on or off. If you are prompted for an
administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide
confirmation.

In the Windows Features dialog box, select the Telnet Client check box.

Click OK. The installation might take several minutes.
 
Yes, I understand.

That NOT understand is why until RC1 works, and CANNOT understand why OE,
Outlook 97, Outlook 2002, etc. etc works in the same LAN.

This is usually caused by an anti-spam program or an anti-virus set to scan
email.

Turn off email scanning in your anti-virus. It provides no added
protection. After doing so it may be necessary to reset the server names in
OE.

Email scanning slows down Sending and Receiving, sometimes enough that OE
times out. Since some of the received messages have large (often virus)
attachments, which exasperates the problem.
Some Comcast users have found it necessary to totally uninstall Norton and
switch to the free AVG with mail scanning off. Norton invented email
scanning and here's what they say:

"Disabling Email Scanning does not leave you unprotected against viruses
that
are distributed as email attachments. Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect scans
incoming files as they are saved to your hard drive, including email and
email attachments. Email Scanning is just another layer on top of this. To
make sure that Auto-Protect is providing the maximum protection, keep
Auto-Protect enabled and run LiveUpdate regularly to ensure that you have
the most recent virus definitions."
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPOR...6d4e006aaa94/4ba5fc8ef939c44c88256c7500723cf0

"...your computer is protected if Auto-Protect is enabled. Auto-Protect
scans any incoming files, including email attachments, when the files are
saved to your hard drive."
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/nav.nsf/docid/2001100907323806

"NAV provides multiple layers of protection. Email scanning is just one of
those layers. Even if you are not running Email Scanning, your computer is
protected against viruses that are distributed as email attachments by NAV
Auto-Protect. Auto-Protect will scan any incoming files, including email
attachments, as they are saved to your hard drive. To make sure that
Auto-Protect is providing the maximum protection, keep Auto-Protect enabled
and run LiveUpdate regularly to ensure that you have the most recent virus
definitions."

So Symantec used to say this often and clearly. The newer stuff doesn't
have the statement included as it was considered an embarrassment. If you
know anyone who programs for Norton try to get them to talk about it.
 
Thanks, but it was in a clean install without any antispam or antivirus
program.
Maybe I don´t explain well: Until prior builds than RC1 (even if I reinstall
any of that builds) it works fine, without problems in the same machine, in
the same environment with the same proxy client

Check Tools | Options | Connections and Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties
| Connection

See if that helps. I'm at a loss.
