I am having problems with retrieving my mail. When I go to retrieve
it, the download will hang up with 2 or 3 messages left to go. After
reading, I try to delete whatever I've d/l'd, but the same messages
will appear later. Went to the Yahoo (my mail provider) support page,
but cannot get past the first page. It keeps "looping" me. I can't
send them an Email, since I couldn't retrieve their reply.

I would appreciate any suggestions/comments, especially if someone has
had this problem.

My DSL provider, SBC, is great. But, when they packaged Yahoo for
mail, they screwed up big time.

I hope I've explained my situation clearly.

TIA

When connecting to an exchange server (and, this COULD
affect SMTP / POP3 as well - I have to confirm this) the RPC
Binding Order dramatically affects the time it takes the
Outlook client to process messages.

The string in the reg key
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Exchange/RPC_Binding_Order
comes, by default, as follows:
ncalrpc,ncacn_ip_tcp,ncacn_spx,ncacn_np,netbios,nc acn_vns
_spp

All that is requitred for a standard TCP/IP connection is
ncacn_ip_tcp
RPC, SPX, NP (named pipes), netbios, and vns_spp (banyan
vines) are rarely used. Outlook can take up to a minute
attempting to establish communication using each individual
protocol.

Lets say that your server to server environment requires
RPC. Outlook must first establish a TCP/IP connection before
using RPC. So RPC will fail, then TCP/IP will establish,
followed by SPX, NP, netbios, and vns_spp. Then it must go
through the order again, establishing RPC, attempting to
restablic TCP/IP, followed again by the rest. This can make it
appear that the system is indeed hung.
Modifying the binding order to reflect the required services, in
the order they are used, reduces the time to perform tasks.

Not enough info but it sounds like you're retrieving Yahoo Maill with
Outlook Express and one message is hanging up the whole works. Does Yahoo
not still have a webmail feature? Log in through Yahoo, delete the mail and
you should be set.

Come on man! This has absolutely no relevance to his problem.

These issues may occur if you are using McAfee VirusScan 4.02 or 4.03.

That did it! Thank you to all who responded. And I do apologize for
not providing more info, I'm not usually this dumb.

And again, thanks.
