ERR AVG POP3 Proxy Server: Cannot connect to the mail server!             

[Lance]

No problems here, Jill. It might just be a temporary blip in your email client, I suggest restarting it if you haven't already!

[Simon]

No problems here either.

[Sebby]

Nor here. I wonder if it's an AVG issue. Have you tried rebooting your computer?

[Inactive]

No problems with AVG here.

[J!ll]

Still the same

-ERR AVG POP3 Proxy Server: Cannot connect to the mail server!

I can send but not receive, authorization for my account has failed 

[Rik]

Check your AVG settings, Jill, or turn of email scanning briefly (if you can) and see if it then works. The error appears to be generated by AVG, so that's the first place to look.

[J!ll]

I tried that before I posted, didn't make any difference  I mostly use MSN, that always works 

[Rik]

If you've checked all your settings locally, you'll have to talk to support who can look at what's happening when you try to logon.

What's the name of the proxy server? can you ping it?

[Sebby]

I would check your account settings in Outlook/OE or whatever you use. Perhaps it's got changed by AVG - I remember Norton used to have a habit of doing this.

How dare you put AVG in the same paragraph as Norton.. 

[David]

All well here Jill .

Sorry, I meant nothing by it, honest!

[Inactive]

  Let you off then Seb....

Nothing has changed

Might be worth checking email settings in AVG Jill.

Open AVG click  'Tools'   and  'Advanced settings'  click  'E-mail Scanner' + sign. click  'Servers' + sign.
click  'POP3'  + sign.  click 'Autopop3'  Make sure there's a tick in the   'Activate this Server'  box.   

[J!ll]

Thanks, but all of a sudden it decides to work! and I still haven't touched/changed anything! 

[Rik]

Computers... 

[J!ll]

Yes! 

[BrianM]

Great
