Windows Vista Outlook 2003 Email not receiving -- 0x8004210A error-- Fix - Solution

If you receive a 0x8004210A error in outlook I feel for you. I have spent 20 hours trying to find out how to fix an email send/receive problem in Outlook. I'm running windows VISTA 32 and Outlook 2003 with McAfee provided my Comcast. I've read just about every forum topic there is on the subject. Some say it's a problem with the router, others say it's a registry issue, others say it's an anti-virus software problem. I pulled my hair out trying to get this fixed. I never realized how much I relied on Outlook.

So here's the solution to the 0x8004210A error. Completely uninstall the McAfee security software. It helps to use this link:http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?id=107083&lc=1033 to completely remove the software. Now hit the send and receive button on Outlook. Hopefully you are now receiving your emails. As much as I didn't want to, I re-install McAfee from Comcast. I'm up and running again.
