pop3 mail

[jeffyman1]

when i set-up outlook express for aol mail it was ports 25 and 110,at some point it changed from 110 to 995,why is this and who may have changed it??outlook express 6

 

[bsobel]

995 Is the port for pop3 over SSL

 

[jeffyman1]

I keep getting connection errors just recently,not sure why,cant connect to ssl,reboot,all is fine,weird

Those settings don't just change themselves. As bsobel points out, port 995 is the standard POP3 / SSL (encrypted communication) port. Don't know why a reboot is affecting your connections.

Do you have that 'AOL Port Magic' program installed ?

 

[jeffyman1]

no port magic,actully dont even have aol installed on here,just using the mail,i set up settings manually about 6 months ago,trying to keep the crap to a minimum,google updater is baffleing me now,cant turn it off ,it keeps coming back,i like using the toolbar for the auto fill,but it is gone next,

Take a look at the OS' Services, if it run a Google updater service set it to Disable.
