All of the responses I've received have focused on Outlook Express.
I need to point out that the same behavior occurs with Thunderbird,
so that seems to me to suggest that the problem is not in either one
of the email clients.
Does anything come to mind about this?
Is it only with that e-mail account? Do other e-mail accounts work?
I did not set up another email account in either OE or TB.
What is the error you receive in Thunderbird? I think in an earlier
post you mentioned that it wasn't the same error as in OE but you
failed to describe what the error was.
There's no error message given.
Again, the socket error 10060 is a connection timeout error. It could
indicate that something is blocking the ports on that machine or
perhaps at a router?
I didn't check the router!
Don't forget that the error message said that the POP3 port was 995, not
110. Nothing in either OE or TB says 995; both say 110.
The Windows firewall has default settings. What else should I check?
Thanks.
