A neighbor's Dell computer with XP Home exhibits very strange behavior
with both Outlook Express and the latest Thunderbird. She cannot connect
to the POP3 server at Verizon. "Socket error 10060"
I found that this error occurs when you are using an SMTP server that
your ISP blocks. However, she's using outgoing.verizon.net.
I ran VZ's "PC Check" program and it reported that OE was using port 995
instead of 110.
I checked that in OE and in TB and found that both were configured for
110, no SSL or other secure protocols.
She's using Windows firewall and I reset it to the default settings.
I set up her account on my computer and it works fine.
What could be causing the problem?
Thanks,
Pete
