Outlook 2000 Error Msg

[Steve Stad]

I am trying to configure outlook 2000. I was able to send email but not
receive yesterday. I tried to reconfigure but I get error message when
trying to send/receive saying...."The TCP/IP connection was unexpectedly
terminated by your mail server. If this problem persists contact your LAN
administrator or Internet Provider" --- Can you tell me what this means?
My configuration uses...
Incoming mail (POP3) server named: imap.aol.com
Outgoing Mail SMTP server : smtp.aol.com
outgoing mail SMTP box #587 (as per AOL instructions)

Sounds like an issue on AOL's server or a connectivity issue, not an Outlook
issue, but lengthen the server timeout value on the Advanced tab of the
account properties pages.

Brain,

Thanks for the tip. I set the server timeout value to about 3min. Now when
I try to send a msg from the out box the msg is returned saying... No
Transport provider was available for delivery to this recipeint" -
Do you have any ideas why it is not sending or recieving?
