Outlook and AOL problems
Posted: April 4th, 2005, 11:29 pm
Hey, my parents got AOL around 9 years ago in the internet dark ages, I can't stand having the program on my computer because of all the background programs that slow everything down. So I'm trying to use outlook instead.
I configured outlook to work with AOL as per the directions I found on various sites.
imap.aol.com - incoming
smtp.aol.com - outgoing
changed the outgoing server to 587.
Problem is, I can't send mail, everytime I try to, I get the error message:
0x800CCC0F - Cannot send mail because of server interruption (or something like that, error number is exact).
I'm running DSL through a modem/router combo provided by Verizon, Windows XP, and Sygate Personal Firewall.
I don't know what the deal is, anyone have experience with this or an idea what to do?
