>> Today a user called me with the Outlook Express (v.6) time out error
>> when she was trying to send an email - error 00088ccc19. Ten minutes
>> later, a different user called with the same problem. I called our
>> ISP and double checked the server smtp settings - no problems there.
>> The ISP also said they could not see any problem on their end. By
>> the end of the day, three more users had called with the same problem.
>>
>> My first concern was maybe a virus. We use Symantec Corp Edition
>> Version
>> 8.1 and have for years with no problems, all virus definitions are up
>> to date, I block all dangerous attachments and everyone scans daily
>> so I am pretty sure that this is not the problem. I did however
>> disable the anti-virus on the users computers which made no
>> difference as far as the time out error message. I then changed the
>> time out settings to as high as they would go, still go the time out
>> error.
>>
>> I had this problem two months ago with two users and could not get it
>> fixed so I formatted their hard drives, reinstalled Windows 2000 and
>> had the same problem! I changed their email account user name and
>> passwords on the newly formatted drive and that made no difference.
>> I then installed XP Pro and that cleared up the problem except one of
>> the users today was using the newly formatted XP and her problem
>> seems to be back.
>>
>> I am completely baffled - this is only 5 users (so far) that are
>> experiencing this problem, but I'm not sure what tomorrow will bring.
>>
>> Does anyone have any clue as to what is happening?
>> All computers are Windows 2000 SP 4 and fully patched except for the
>> one XP Pro, SP2, fully patched.
