    Hey,

    Im having a problem with recieving mail with outlook, im not sure if its because its trying to recieve mail thats 2.75MB. The message is


    Task 'mail.optusnet.com.au - 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).'

    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Have u gone over ur download limit, r u speed capped????
    I get this message everytime I go over my limit.
    In ur Internet Options u can change u length of time to wait from 60 seconds to whatever i changed mine from 60 to 300 seconds but still when i went over my limit i had the message.

    here goes try this and c
    Increase the length for server time-outs

    On the Tools menu, click Accounts.
    Select the account, and then click Properties.
    On the Advanced tab, in the Server Timeouts area, move the slider to the right.
    Did this fix the problem?

    Yes. Close the troubleshooter.

    No. I want to try other troubleshooting options.
