I use Outlook to access my AOL account.
Lately, I have started getting an error when I try to Send/Receive:
Task 'Synchronizing subscribed folders for Personal.' reported error (0x800CCC0E) : 'Outlook cannot synchronize subscribed folders for Personal. Error: Cannot connect to the server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'
This is happening on my PC, not on my Android phone (on Wi-Fi or cellular networks). This is only on Outlook; AOL's webmail is fine. (My phone uses Android's native email to connect to AOL).
I first discovered this last week on a guest Wi-Fi. This is also happening on my personal Wi-Fi (different states, different ISPs). If I tether my PC to my phone (T-Mobile), it sends and receives correctly. If I try to connect on Wi-Fi via a VPN, I also get the Send/Receive error.
This first happened last Wednesday, and has happened sporadically since. Sometimes, if I leave Outlook open and it's giving me the message, and I come back later, it's downloaded new messages.
It's clearly not a password error. I was thinking it could be an ISP port issue, but how would that explain the two networks, and the VPN issue?
I'm looking for solutions, obviously, or direction - an ISP issue or an AOL issue?
(Not looking for alternate email providers)
Thanks!
