Does anyone have a solution for the error 0x8004210E?

[C. Nimbus]

I have an error 0x8004210E appear when I try to receive emails using Outlook,
the error text states as follows:
'Your mailbox is temporarily unavailable because another e-mail message is
being delivered to it or another mail application is accessing it. The server
responded: -ERR (username) logon failed'

I can send emails and can access emails through my server Webmail.

I hope someone has a solution as I have removed and reinstalled Office 2003,
turned off all virus software (I use Avast) ,Windows Defender and Security
Centre and still receive the same fault. It started occuring after I
reinstalle the XP service pack 2.

Hi C. Nimbus,

did you read this site?

"Error message when you click "Send/Receive" in Outlook 2003: "Task
'<Server_Name> - Receiving' reported error (0x8004210E)"

Maybe it helps.

Contact your ISP and tell them the error message you are getting. They
should be able to see if the mailbox is locked for said condition (meaning a
new message is being delivered or the server doesn't let two or pop3 clients
check at the same time) and clear it for you.
