Topic: FYI: Outlook 2002

FYI:
Outlook 2002 needs a patch applied when you experience these errors:

Task 'smtp server name - Sending and Receiving' reported error (0x8004210A): 'The operation timed out waiting for a response from the sending (SMTP) server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provide (ISP).'

This is NOT a problem with SME.

For a fix see here:

Do not forget the registry change in the bottom.

I used to get this error all the time, plus if I left the messages on the server, it would download them more than once, it failed to recognize that the message had already been downloaded. However both problems have gone completely and all mail activity is working perfectly since I changed over from 5.6 to 6.0 (with all the updates of course) Thanks for pointing out the Microsoft article though as I do have a few friends that are still on 5.6 that suffer the same issue.
