VARN Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Every time I try to send email I get this message Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Subject '', Account: 'pop.mail.yahoo.com', Server: 'smtp.mail.yahoo.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 465, Secure(SSL): Yes, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F The last email I was able to send was on Dec 20, 2010; I have tried changing the ports disabling firewall and antivirus, I have verified all the email settings. I am at a loss. Using Windows Mail on vista x64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VARN Posted December 31, 2010 Author Share Posted December 31, 2010 I will try that tomorrow; does it matter if I do not use AT&T (I use Cogeco)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azo Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Oh, if you're using Cogeco and you're in Canada try smtp.cgocable.ca. or smtp.cogeco.ca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azo Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Can't think of anything else, have you phoned Cogeco up to see if they can help you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sbrideau Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Why not just use the web interface? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VARN Posted January 1, 2011 Author Share Posted January 1, 2011 Why not just use the web interface?I do not like the interface, with all the ads, news clips and requests for chat it feels unprofessional and spammy It just started working again yesterday.
