can't receive emails.....

[trace]

I'm sure this has been asked before....forgive me...

I get the following error message:

The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'pop1.sympatico.ca',
Server: 'pop1.sympatico.ca', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No,
Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

Sometimes I receive email after re-starting Outlook, sometimes I don't.

Any hints or help would be immensely appreciated.

Often the result of an Anti Virus program setup to scan email that has gone
rogue, are you running an email scanner?

programs installed.

Here is a link to sympatico.ca settings :

According to the link : - - -
Your port # should be 995, and
Your POP server is not the same as the link says.
