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...

    • But they will be the first asking for a bail out the moment crap goes sideways. Its just a matter of time with this AI thing unless skynet gets us first.
    • I'm so conflicted with the Google Search AI summaries. On one hand I don't like how it's harming smaller websites by greatly reducing traffic which will harm us all in the long run but on the other hand those AI summaries often give me the information I'm after. I have never once clicked on 'show me more' though and never will.
    • Not a single company as small or large it may be is obligated to subsidize its products and sell them at a loss. Your way of thinking is socialist and as a West German with a German brother state but impoverished by state dictatorship and a socialist command economy situated to the East i can tell you - this kind of thinking very quickly leads to products not being produced anymore at all. EDIT: That does not mean that I find state support for social needs unreasonable. Quite the contrary. Together with solid workers' rights we exactly had exactly that in Germany for decades in the form of the Sozialstaat which was as the scandinavian social democratic very successful - until the number of people who drew from those resources dramatically increased (ironically a project of social democrat and green proponents).
    • Apple reportedly has a second-generation iPhone Fold planned for 2027 by Hamid Ganji The iPhone Fold is one of the most anticipated tech products expected to debut this fall. It will be Apple’s first foldable iPhone, ushering in a new product category for the company. While the first generation has yet to hit the shelves, a new leak suggests Apple has already begun work on its successor. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claims that the second-generation iPhone Fold has already been confirmed, meaning Apple could launch a successor in fall 2027. The foldable iPhone is also reportedly referred to as the “iPhone Ultra,” though it remains unclear whether Apple will ultimately choose that branding, especially as Samsung is rumored to rename the Galaxy Z Fold 8 as the Galaxy Z Fold Ultra this year. The leaker also claims that the second-generation foldable will feature a wider folding display while reusing the same screen found in the first generation. Apple’s first foldable iPhone is expected to feature a 7.8-inch inner display and a 5.3-inch outer screen in a passport-style form factor. It has already been reported that Apple plans to change its iPhone release cycle in 2026 to spread launches throughout the year. Under this strategy, the iPhone Fold is expected to debut this fall alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. The standard iPhone 18 and iPhone Air 2 are expected to arrive later in 2026 or in early 2027. Speaking of the iPhone Air, Digital Chat Station says Apple remains undecided about a third-generation model. The company is reportedly waiting to see how the iPhone Air 2 performs in the market, and if sales disappoint, a successor may never materialize. As we reported this week, the iPhone Air has not been scrapped from Apple’s plans. The second-generation model is reportedly scheduled for spring 2027 and could introduce upgrades such as an additional rear camera for ultrawide photography and improved battery life.
    • ahh yes the good old your opinion differs from mine so you are therefore insane lol destiny 1 had no agenda pushing and was a massive success of a game, if you clearly look online the team for some reason thought they had too many men on the team and went on a woman and dei recruitment drive and we all know how destiny 2 performed from then on in
