I have been having problems retreving email for months now. I would click send and receive and after a while it would ask me for my password (which was saved and CORRECT?) Every now and again after many times of hitting S+R it would manage to connect and bring down my mail.
I noticed that you could solve this by logging into webmail, this seems to 'jump start' the POP in outlook into working??
I use AVG which (somewhat annoyingly) is set to scan every email.
I noticed that, just before it actually managed to connect, the AVG scan would say 'connecting to 193.252.22.136', then it would retrieve the email.
It wasn't until this morning that I wondered what would happen if I put that IP (193.252.22.136) as the address for the POP server (I had got it set to pop.orangehome.co.uk)
What do you know?! It WORKS! Now when I click S+R it, first time every time, manages to connect and retrieve the email instantly.
It seems to me that something must have been having trouble making an IP out of the pop.orangehome.co.uk hostname? It wasn't just my home pc I had experienced these problems, it was exactly the same at the work and exactly the same thing that fixed it.
I hope that this helps someone else out who has been having similar problems to myself. Please fill in the Poll - I am interested to see how many others have been experiencing this.

You can set AVG just to scan emails with attachments only
Open up AVG control centre highlight Email Scanner click on
Properties > Configure and under "Email Scanning"
tick "With Attachments Only" > OK > Apply > OK.
