Thanks Don,
Unfortunately this has been going on for about 5 days now.
I have gotten the message about timing out on my email before and I
always just 'assumed' it was my cable company. It would typically only
last a short time... minutes..and a couple of times a few hours.
I did try the rebooting and even turned off all my anti-virus and
firewall just to try to eliminate that as a possibility. I went to ms
config and stopped them from starting up. Then rebooted... and it was
not help. So, I immediately went back into msconfig and set them to
start at startup and rebooted again. All to no avail!
I deleted my inbox, outbox, and other things..and alas, no change.
I was going to delete all my dbx folders as I just backed up my mail and
when i get every thing working again, I will just use the backup to
recover it. I am usually pretty good about backing up my emails. I
use Express Assistant 7 and it has been good for me. Simple and does
what it should. I make periodic backup of files...like my purchases
and memberships/subscriptions. Then I can delete the folder. I can
reinstate it any time I want to.
I am going to fight this one more day.. and then just bite the bullet
and upgrade to Windows MCE 2005. There are a ton of steps to take as
some of the programs I got from Sony have to be updated too to work
with 2005, but Sony supplied the programs and stuff. I paid the $12 (I
think that is what it was, it could have been less) for the CD to be
delivered rather than just download the programs. This way, should I
need it again, I have it and do not have to worry about it.
Thanks for everyone's response. I am reading and writing from the web,
so I have not read all the responses yet, but I thank you in advance.
