I've had a quirky mail problem since being on a cable modem over a year ago (can't remember if I had it on dial-up). I've always used Outlook Express. When I'm surfing, I leave my mail program open and minimized and set to poll for mail every 10 minutes. I'll be sending and receiving mail just fine, then all of a sudden nothing comes or goes and I get an error message on every account that doesn't seem to point to any particular problem - just says that the connection failed and it can't seem to find the host. When I open my cable company's software and test my connection, it shows that my connection is fine and my applications are connecting fine. When I call my cable company, they verify that my connection is fine and say it must be a problem with Outlook Express. Closing Outlook Express entirely and re-opening it does not do any good, however, restarting my computer gets my mail flowing again. Is there some quirky problem with Outlook Express, or can this be a TCP/IP problem? What can it be?
