Windows Mail Problems

[thunderchildobs]

After downloading 1 or 2 emails I get the following message.

Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Account: 'mail.bigpond.com', Server: 'mail.bigpond.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F

I am runnning Windows Mail 6.0.6000.16386 on Vista Service pack 2.
The problem seemed to have started in the last 2 weeks.
Other internet programs are running without problems.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Brendan

Perhaps the emails you downloaded were large enough to exceed your mailbox quota.
I'd be looking at increasing the size of your mailbox if you can or delete a few old emails.

you can google your error message and the error number (without the bigpond specific parts)

an email with large attachment tries to get downloaded?

closing Win Mail, opening your bigpond account via a web browser, download the probably existing big attachment, deleting that particular email and the prob could be fixed.

Thanks for the replies.

I deleted all the emails, some of which attachments though none where particular large. No problems when the next set of emails downloaded.
