Vista + Email = :(


Recommended Posts

I installed vista RTM & Outlook 2003

i cant receive ANY Emails...

this is just POP3 email, nothing special

it logs into server and says like.... "receiving 1 of 5" and hangs there till it times out

never downloading more then 49K

i also downloaded Thunderbrid email client, same issue

All other networking seems fine, IE7 works nice

i did some FTP, i even did a bit torrent...

disabling the firewall changed nothing...

this is just POP3 email, nothing special

searching the net, its like im the only one with this problem...

im thinking its in the networking somewhere...

i got broadcom gigabit nic onboard (ABIT-AW8)

anyone else having email problems?

or have a thought...

i basicly cant switch to vista till this is solved...

mitch

I think it has to be something on your side, with your provider or something. It works fine here for me both in Outlook and Windows Mail.

your right, just access your email from the web, delete message one and two, and keep testing outlook. It sounds like a corrupted message, common problem, if you have 100 messages waiting and number 49 is corrupted you won't get any email to download to Outlook. If it stops at "one of five", quite possible message one and/or message two is corrupted, deleted it should work fine.

I experienced this problem on Windows XP SP2 with Outlook 2003 as well when trying to download all the mail from my Gmail account. My only solution was to download all my mail into Outlook Express (Windows Mail in Vista) and then import it over to Outlook, then set Gmail up to download only new emails to POP3.

Im a little smarter than that guys!, there are no corrupt emails, XP on same machine gets em fine.

infact i boot to xp, read my email.. then boot back to vista...

say i read all my emails, then send (from another account) a email with a simple 400k attachment

VISTA wont get it!!

its NOT outlook, its vistas new fangled TCP STACK or the NIC Drivers!

ITS VISTA or the NIC drivers!!!

I also discovered, i cant copy/paste files from remote desktop in vista

it starts to copy, but never finishes...

so 1: vista, 2 NIC drivers (which vista is suppling)

I GOT IT!!

ok, its a VISTA / LINKSYS problem

with the new vista networking and its TCPIP Scaling (self tuning)

it appears that it exposed a bug in alot of LINKSYS Routers

(many complaints on linksys forums)

I have a RV042, Linksys already has a beta firmware for the RV082 which addresses this issue...

when i turn of its internal firewall, Everything is fine...

I didnt want to loose some of its protection

so...

at a command promt

netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled

that will disable vista from messing with packet size

when the router gets new firmware... ill do

netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal

this is a good FYI...

    • There are so many of these apps now that do this, what do people recommend?
    • Just the price of doing business. The scamble to pull as much from the web as possible is happening, and it's happening before a case like this changes how or what is legal do to with AI in terms of data harvesting. But even then as we've seen with the likes of Google who ignore cookie requests and just accept the fact they'll get fined, it's built into their business price model now. AI is here, its not going away. Their reward if any from the court case would be best suited to trying to incorprate AI or licence their end points as authentic human verified content. The problem is, as we've seen these same news papers are using AI themselves.

    • This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of by Hamid Ganji While companies like Apple and Samsung have been relatively conservative with their devices’ battery capacities in recent years, Chinese manufacturers have taken the competition to the next level by introducing significantly larger batteries. However, the latest report from China suggests that a local company may already be developing a smartphone with a whopping 14,000mAh battery. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claimed on Weibo that a smartphone maker is developing a device with a 14,000mAh battery. If true, it would be the largest battery ever used in a smartphone and could, in theory, provide up to a week of battery life on a single charge. The leaker did not reveal the name of the company behind the device, but there are some clues. This week, HONOR unveiled the X80 Pro Max in China with an 11,000mAh battery and 90W wired charging support. The company also launched the Honor Win in January, which packs a 10,000mAh battery. HONOR, a former subsidiary of Huawei, has a proven track record of developing smartphones with unusually large batteries. However, other Chinese brands, including Xiaomi, have also launched devices such as the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max with 7,500mAh batteries. Though Chinese users on Weibo also believe the company behind the new battery is HONOR. Interestingly, Digital Chat Station said the device with the 14,000mAh battery weighs around 220 grams, making it lighter than the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max (233 grams) and slightly heavier than the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (214 grams). The iPhone 17 Pro Max currently packs a 5,088mAh battery in eSIM-only versions, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra features a 5,000mAh battery. Neither device is expected to see a dramatic increase in battery capacity in its next-generation successor. So when it comes to battery comparison, Chinese brands are unbeaten. HONOR smartphones are currently available in the EU, but the Chinese brand has no official presence in the United States due to restrictions imposed by the U.S. government.
