Outllok for Mac 2011 : Server Timeout Issues with POP3 Server

16. November 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , , , , ,
Outlook has timeout errors connectng to a pop3 server continually, whilst mac mail, thunderbird and any other mail client I download has no trouble. 

Usual error is the old sever may be busy or high network load rubbish.

Especially if the pop3 server has more than 1000 msgs but not limited to this. 

I am ready to give up on Outlook and go back to Mac Mail (despite the inferior junk filter!)  Any ideas ?

created live mail account and when sending and receiving i continue getting pop3 server has not responded in 60 seconds…. I cant seem to get it to work no matter what I try. Please help….

Seems Im not cut out for this windows live. I cant seem to get it to retrieve message from my cox account. Continue getting the POP3 error, hasnt responded in 60 seconds, would you like to wait another 60 seconds. With this error message if I hit stop. Any suggestions are appreciated.


Unable to send or receive messages for the Cox  account. A time-out occurred while communicating with the server.

Server: 'pop.cox.net'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC19
Protocol: POP3
Port: 995
Secure(SSL): No

I cannot make my Windows Live Mail account work. I’ve followed setting instructions over and over again. The servers (Pop3 and SMTP) will not work.

Just bought a new computer after a storm compromised my old computer.  I had Outlook Express before, and had my e-mail transferred to the new Live Mail account.  I have followed the instructions I got from my ISP several times, and I believe I have all settings right, but I keep getting pop ups that say the Pop3 server is not responding, or error messages--usually 550, that SMTP is not working for outgoing mail.

I tried to do a live mail chat with an ISP rep., and he referred me to the written instruction link that I'd already been using.  It's been a week now, everything else is working, and I'm getting my e-mail by going on the internet, but Live Mail would be easier, and offers more options.

what does: " hotmail live – exceeded the login limit for a 15 minute period. Reduce the frequency of requests to the POP3 server" mean. How do I fix it?

When I click on the send/receive button the message in the title line appears in a little black box..... it appears to be coming from Hotmail live which is what I am trying to use as the POP3 server.
