IE email problems

[csl2006]

alright computer nerds.......defragged and debugged my pc again thanks to some of the nasty vip videos....well anyways any sort of email wont open on here. Hotmail, yahoo, gmail nothign it just goes to page error IE http 500 server error.....ugh how do i fix i've been messing around the last week tryin to get it to work.

Those are all web based email. I wonder if you changed an internet setting. Did you turn off cookies? They usually need them on to verify it's actually you checking mail. So I'm pretty sure it's a security setting maybe set too high.

screw IE... go for firefoxX3

[csl2006]

well screwing IE isn't helping right now and my cookies are on and Im on level 2 of 5 on my security settings.

Well... like I said... those are web based email providers. So there is a setting wrong somewhere. Go to Google Mail(gmail) and see if there is a security FAQ that can guide you through the right internet/IE settings.

[csl2006]

click on gmail and it just goes straight to page error

just go here:
http://www.mozilla.com/products/download.html?product=firefox-3.0.1&os=win&lang=en-US

and download Firefox, its a much better, and more secure browser than IE.

You'll save your self a lot of trouble.

system restore should do the trick

There is obviously something wrong with your system since it is happening to 3 different sites. You could try the basic stuff like clearing cookies and cache.

Do you have a manual proxy configured by any chance?
You can find out by going to Toos>Internet Options>Connections>LAN Settings
Most home computers will not need anything on this page with the expection of "Automatically detect settings" So is anything else on this page checked?

It sounds like the problem is not caused by email sites but could it possibly be with all secure site? Can you access other secure sites and login?

Do you have Use SSL enabled under Toos>Internet Options>Advanced>Security?
Also is your router blocking port 443?
What version of Windows are you on?
What version of IE are you on?

Let me know the answer to those questions and we will go from there

Forgot to mention.
Make sure your date isnt set incorrectly.
SSL Certificates are dated, if your year/date is off enough it can give errors like that.
I've done it by accident once or twice

[csl2006]
