Outlook Express Error Number: 0x80004005

[Ricky1970]

Hi there, My OE 6.0 was working fine until I had the excellent idea of trying a software called "Spam Inspector" that works with the OE rules and blocked addresses list.

After uninstalling this program my OE does not retrieve any email from any of my POP accounts (it does from hotmail), the error it gives me is as follows:

An unknown error has occurred. Protocol: POP3, Port: 0, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x80004005

This error is only affecting my windows XP identity, all the others are working fine.

I already tried the following solutuions I found on the web:

1. deleting the file pop3uidl.dbx
2. deleting the file folders.dbx
3. deleting all my identitity files from the application data folder and then uninstalling and reinstalling OE from XP control panel
4. creating again all the email accounts

and still no results...

Please, any help will be appreciated.

Tnx.

All the accounts configuration look fine to me... this is veeery strange.
