Outlook Express, XP SP2 & Cell phone Difficulties

[Donald Bergmark]

Ever since installing SP2 I can not send or receive emails via my Verizon
Cell Phone using Outlook Express; however, I can get my emails via land line
with Outlook Express. Outlook express did work prior to installing SP2.
Now, when I open Outlook Express and click "send and Receive" I get this
error message; "Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection.
Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a
long period of inactivity. Account: '(e-mail address removed) Mail
Account', Server: 'postoffice.worldnet.att.net', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110,
Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F". I've talked to Verizon twice
without success. We've done a lot of monkeying around in Outlook Express
Tools including setting up a new identity without success. One of the
things they suggested is putting a "i" in front of the Server info, i.e.
(e-mail address removed). That didn't work either and he finally
suggested I try uninstalling SP2. I did that but that didn't help either.
For some reason,again, Outlook Express works on land line but not through
the cell phone. I can get the internet through the cell phone so it seems to
me it has to be something in Outlook express that isn't communicating
through the cell phone, or possibly SP2 has caused the problem with outlook
express. I am at a lose to figure out what is going wrong and would
appreciate any help.

Thanks for reading.

I am Rich's brother and will be relaying any suggestions to him directly via
the land line.

Don,

upgrade the modem (cellphone) driver to the latest version.

If that doesn't help, remove the connection altogether, reboot,
then reinstall the connection.

If that doesn't help, use http://www.michna.com/kb/wxnet.htm.

Of course I presume that he has never been connected to the
Internet without a firewall.
