After I installed SP3 for MS Outlook 2003, I cannot connect to my e-mail
servers. I receive two error messages stating that the mail server names
cannot be found. If I use Outlook Express, the same mail servers are found
with no problem.

What firewall are you using? Is it blocking outlook because the version #
changed?

Dinae,
thanks. I have a SYmantech/Norton firewall, but I do not think that was the
problem because Outlook Express was working fine. I went to the control panel
and used the "reinstall/repair" function on Outlook and the problem went away.
