Can't receive after an amount of time

[Josh]

Windows XP Professional
Roadrunner Connection
Office XP Professional
PC-Cillin
Microsoft ActiveSync for Pocket PC (I sync
calendar/tasks/notes only)

I run Outlook 2003 and have several email addresses I
check. Everything works but after awhile I get the
following error from every email address (most from
different companies):

Task '*** - Receiving' reported error
(0x80042108) : 'Outlook is unable to connect to your
incoming (POP3) e-mail server. If you continue to receive
this message, contact your server administrator or
Internet service provider (ISP).'

After restarting my computer, everything works fine but
then the same thing eventually happens and I need to
reboot.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot!

What is the interval you have set for checking mails? Try setting it to a
longer time such as 10 minutes or longer.

Thanks for the suggestion but my interval is already
setup for 10 minutes or longer. Outlook just eventually
fails with all my email servers (4 different servers).
I can't really get it to any particular instance. I'll
just come back to my computer and I get errors that it
couldn't connect. I don't run a screen saver or
anything either. I just shut my monitor off.

Any other suggestions?
