Hello Rianham and welcome to the Esumsoft Forums,

A few questions for you to get started:

1. How long have you been getting the "Timed-out" error?

2. What do you have the Polling Interval set at for the affected account?
(NOTE: For a Webmail account, the Polling Interval should be no less than 15 minutes).

3. Is there a particular reason you are using Webmail access instead of IMAP?

I note that your Webmail plugin is not the most current. You can download the current one at the following link:

Other members of the The Esumsoft Team will be stopping by to further review the issue you are reporting and provide additional feedback.

I have been using PopPeeper for > 20yrs. (Great program) I had to re-register to post

My email is excite.com. It is only web based, It doesn't allow IMAP or POP, I have to choose the Excite.com drop down under settings.
This issue of "timeout" occurs a few times a year, and is usually due to something that bluetie (excite.com) web based email making changes, and in
the past, Emusoft has investigated and adapted poppeeper

I downloaded plugin, and changed polling to 15-mins, same issue

It does poll excite.com, and occassionaly it brings in email upon checking (intermittently)
Thanks,

Rob

I have not been getting any errors with Excite mail this morning and their servers are not reportedly down.

Are you able to login to your account on-line using an Internet browser?

Addendum: I've just tested by sending a message to my Excite account and PP successfully retrieved the message -- so I don't appear to have any issues with Excite. Make sure you are able to login on-line and report back. Login Link (I use): https://login.excite.com/

Yes,its intermittent, the last coupe of days... Working right now. Even when poppeeper getting time outs, I have been able to access email directly on excite's website. Maybe an Excite mail intermittent issue then. Thanks!

Your welcome --

The Excite servers in your area may be having random issues at this time -- should clear up eventually since you are able to get messages via the Internet and are getting intermittent success w/ PP.
