Been following all instructions-just get this error message 'Message number 1 could not be retrieved. Account: 'brachethecub', Server: 'mail.o2.co.uk', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR cannot open disk file error 2', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800420CD'. I also get over 300 'no subject' messages in my o2 e-mail inbox! Outlook looks like its downloading all messages-then the above error comes up!

 

Succesfully configured gmail to outlook express-pulling my hair out over this! I run windows xp by the way-all up to date with security-latest browsers etc. Not sure where to post this so doulbed up-mods remove one if needed! Thanks if anyone can help!

If you are using an O2 email address, the incoming POP3 server would be mail.o2.co.uk, the port is 110 and SSL should be disabled, alternatively try port 995 for incoming.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

There are reports in the broadband section of mail server issues affecting all.

 

I would look there and ask the question in that section.
