Outlook 2003 stops Receiving

[thewizz]

OK, I need help. I can't figure this out!

After having Outlook open for a little while (varies, nothing consistent) it
will stop receiving e-mail. I have tried deleting all the e-mail accounts
(4) and adding them back in. I thought that worked but again after some time
it stopped again. I have compacted my personal file hoping that might helm,
but no!

Any suggestions would be great!

OS is Win XP Pro, SP3

Thank you in advance!

And no err msg?
What is your auto send receive interval?
And if you start outlook using the safe switch the problem is replicated?
Start>Run>Outlook.exe /safe
(note space between exe /)

DL - Thank you for responding...

1 - The error I get is:

Task 'Johns - Receiving' reported error (0x8004210A): 'The operation timed
out waiting for a response from the receiving (POP) server. If you continue
ti receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet
service provider (ISP).'

2 - 5 Min.

3 - safe mode seemed to work OK. I let it go for several hours and it did
not stop receiving. I restarted it regularly and it was back (this time it
took about an hour).

Thanks again!
John

If all is ok when started from safe mode then likely you have an add-in
causing issues, most likely integrated anti virus, if you have such,
uninstall the AV, reboot the PC, reinstall AV *without* the Outlook
integration.
Another cause would be any mobile phone sync tools

I disabled my AV's e-mail scanning but still have the same issue. Any other
suggestions?

Thank you for your time!

Within Outlook, check what add-ins are installed
