I am getting error 0800ccoe; what do I do

[SC Bowman]

I keep getting error message "
Task 'Checking for new mail in subscribed folders on www.bellsouth.net.'
reported error (0x800CCC0E) : 'Outlook is unable to download folder (null)
from the IMAP e-mail server for account www.bellsouth.net. Error: Unable to
connect to the server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your
server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'" every time I send
and receive out of outlook. It appears as if I am getting my messages, but
I'm not sure.

So, what did your ISP say when you contacted them, per the message
instructions?

AT&T does not offer IMAP accounts. AT&T (aka Bellsouth) uses Yahoo for its
mail carrier and Yahoo offers only POP.
