Why is my email system not working?

[Mother_Theresa]

I’ve got an email address through a domain that I own at 1&1.com and I use outlook to receive my emails. For the past few days, however, it’s not working. I cannot send or receive emails. When I click send/receive a pop up window tells me:

Task’pop.1and1.com(1) Receiving error (Ox800421OE): Your mailbox is temporarily unavailable because another email message is being delivered to it or another mail application is accessing it. The server responded: -ERR mailbox is locked

That same message will reappear over and over and over, as the system is apparently trying repeatedly, without success to work.

I don’t know if this is related, but about when this problem developed, I tried to send a couple of digital photos to my family, but at 1MB each, I believe they were too large, so I later deleted that message from my outgoing mailbox.

Any ideas how I might solve this problem? Thanks.

No possible solutions for me?

The US governement is scanning your POP server …

Just contact the hosting company and ask them to reset, eventually delete some mails in your maps on their server.

Thanks, good suggestion. I assumed the problem was on my computer, but apparently not as I contacted the hosting company and their info said my accounts are locked. So I sent a request to their techies to fix it or report to me what’s up. Hopefully that will resolve it.
