I've been having frequent problems when I cannot connect to my POP3 email for hours, and then the problem just goes away. I get the outlook message:
Task 'me@domain.ext - Receiving' reported error (0x80042108) : 'Outlook is unable to connect to your incoming (POP3) e-mail server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'
I have seen other people have had similar problems, but I am still unsure what the issue is (the TCH servers seem to be up; I can connect via webmail; and I can access my website...just not my POP3 account)
Based on suggestion I saw on this forum, I ran tracert, and when I did, I found that one hop timed out. Does this mean this is where the problem is?
Any thoughts, as this seems to be a common problem?
