cannot receive mail outlook express 6

[wally]

Helping out with a machine that on cable modem service (cox)
was working fine with OE 6. Now, outlook does not want to receive mail.
We have thunderbird installed as a second client and it works fine.
confirmed ports and setup with cox, there fine.

here are some of the error messages:

An unknown error has occurred. Account: 'pop.central.cox.net', Server:
'pop.central.cox.net', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error
Number: 0x800C0133cure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 11004, Error Number:
0x800CCC0D

The host 'smpt.central.cox.net' could not be found. Please verify that
you have entered the server name correctly. Account:
'pop.central.cox.net', Server: 'smpt.central.cox.net',

Any idea on what could have went wrong with outlook express?
Is a reinstall needed?
how do you reinstall OE only?
