Let’s consider a real life scenario wherein when you try to send or receive emails, you get to face one of the below mentioned error messages:

“No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.”

Or

“Task 'server name - Sending and Receiving' reported error (0x800ccc0f): 'The connection to the server was interrupted. If this problem continues, contact the server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP). The server responded: ? K'”

Or

“The server could not be found. (Account:account name, POPserver:'mail', Error Number: 0x800ccc0d)”

Or

“Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes of this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Account. account name, Server: 'server name', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '+OK', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800ccc0f”

Or

“The operation timed out waiting for a response from the receiving (POP) server 0x8004210a”

Or

“Task 'SMTP server name - Sending and Receiving' reported error (0x80042109): 'Outlook is unable to connect to your outgoing (SMTP) e-mail server. If you continue to receive this message, contact the server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'”

Or

“A time-out occurred while communicating with the server 0x800ccc19”
