Default Receive/Send mails using Outlook Express through LAN

I was able to configure my Outlook Express on the server. The other 2
computers connected to the server can browse the internet but the Outlook
Express could not be configured. I am getting the message
"The host 'mail.chrysalishrd.com' could not be found. Please verify that
you have entered the server name correctly. Account: 'mail.chrysalishrd.com',
Server: 'mail.chrysalishrd.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No,
Socket Error: 11004, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D"

The POP3 and SMTP address mentioned is same as in the server. What could be
the problem.

In the current scenario, everyone uses the server to check the mails. I am
not able to configure the same for the two individual computers.

Please help.

Default Re: Receive/Send mails using Outlook Express through LAN

Outlook Express is not designed to run on a server.
From another post:

Set up an IMAP server on one of the computers. I use Mercury Mail:

http://www.pmail.com/overviews/ovw_mercury.htm

Use the computer which is mostly always on; it will have to be on for the
times when you access the other computer. Set up the Mercury Mail POP3
Distributing client to fetch your email from your POP3 servers. They will
be kept on the disk of the computer running Mercury Mail. Set up the
Mercury Mail IMAP4 server. Log in from whichever computer you are on using
your favorite IMAP capable email program; MS Outlook Express works just
fine this way. None of the other modules need to be selected.

Turn off email scanning in your anti-virus. It provides no added
protection.

The Other E-Mail Threat: File Corruption in Outlook Express
Published: November 18, 2004

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/IE/...orruption.mspx

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/SUPPORT...256c7500723cf0

"...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...01100907323806

"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.

What mail server application are you using?

Also, how is your LAN configured for Internet access?

On my LAN (I am the guy who uses Mercury, whose article was cited by Ron
Sommer), local access by MS Outlook Express is not accomplished using
"aosake.net:110", but by using the NetBIOS computer name, "Megumi". If my
SpeedStream 4100 DSL modem is configured to pass a private IP address to
the router, a "loopback" connection (i.e., Telnet to "aosake.net:110") will
fail. Since Mercury is actually listening at 192.168.102.100:110, not at
71.131.229.228:110, it works best for a LAN connected mail client to use
"Megumi:110", or 192.168.102.100:110 for POP3 checks.

OTOH, Pegasus Mail, a very slick mail client, when running in a network
with Mercury/32, doesn't even need to have a mail server configured;
properly installed, it knows the location of the Mercury/32 message store,
and access it directly.
