i can't get my email i have checked my server info all the same
this is my error message The connection to the server has failed. Account:
'geusnet.com', Server: 'pop.geusnet.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110,
Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0Ey error message
 
I can telnet into pop.geusnet.com on port 110 and I get a proper POP server
response, so the server appears to be up and available. This sort of thing
is very often the result of an incompatible Anti Virus email scanner, are
you using one?

That type of problem is usually caused by interference from a non-
compatible antivirus program. Which antivirus are you running?
As a minimum, email scanning in the antivirus must be turned off,
although that may not be sufficient to eliminate all bad effects.
In a worst case scenario, your antivirus may need to be uninstalled.

Email scanning in any antivirus must be disabled, for reasons
explained here:

If no improvement after disabling email scanning, consider upgrading
to Windows Live Mail, because it is less prone to suffering bad effects
from overly intrusive antivirus programs:
