I have Outlook Express 5 setup on some G4's and an Imac with OS9.1, they connect to a Lotus Notes NT Server which is running a POP service,the incoming mail POP3 points to the IP Address of the Notes Server as does the Outgoing (SMPT), It has been working up until las Friday, we now get an error " An operation on the server timed out. The server may be down, overloaded, or there may be too much net traffic" Erroe -3259. I have the same set up on a PC near the MACs with exactly the same account details, this works OK. I have also installed Macping on the IMAC to test out the connection to trhe Notes server, this appears OK. I have also unloaded an reloaded the POP3 service on the Lotus Notes box.
