W2k sp4 on a little desktop. ATT DSL Pro for many, many years.

Outlook 2k sp3 settings:
incoming - pop.att.yahoo.com
out(SMTP) - smtp.att.yahoo.com
inetab32.dll
MAPI 1.0 Service Providers for Outlook 9 IMEP
v. 4.40.46000
12/8/1998 3:53:54 PM

For a week or so, I can't receive O2k mail. Worked OK for 5+ years previous to
that. Tells me it cannot reach pop.att.yahoo.com, but I get replies when I
ping it. Browser-mail confirms lots of Email waiting.

With authentication, I get an unreadable flash-popup. Without I usually get
"Some msgs couldn't be retrieved from server ... usually server or net problems
.... contact admin."

Any ideas? Theres no real evidence of server or net problems.

Thx,
Puddin'

Have you verified the size of your PST? O2K has a limit of 2 GB max, it can
become questionable any time after 1.6 GB.

Other ideas?

Again, worth a try.

I ran it twice: it found no errors.

But I liked your "Troubleshooting Outlook" page. Could have used it a
time or 2 in recent years. Know where to find it now.

Thanks,

Try enabling diagnostic logging to find out what's happening between the
server and Outlook. See this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/240347
