Just the other day, I started to have problems with
microsoft outlook.
When attempting to send or receive, I would get the
following message:

Task 'mail.optonline.net - Sending and Receiving' reported
error (0x8004210A) : 'The operation timed out waiting for
a response from the receiving (POP) server. If you
continue to receive this message, contact your server
administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'

I contacted my service provider. Am able to pick up my
mail with outlook express or webmail on my other
computer. But this one particular computer, I am not able
to pick up my mail. My service provider thinks it is an
outlook or explorer problem. Any suggestions... Thanks
 
You are not alone. I have the EXACT same problem and it
started within the last week. I have tried everything I
can think of. I have the same problem even with multiple
POP3 and SMTP servers. It only occurs on my computer
running Windows XP and Office XP. It does not occur on
my Windows 2000 and Office 2000 computer. I will post a
solution if I find one. Good luck.
