Is GMAIL thru Outlook Express not working anymore?

[Spin]

Gurus,

Is GMAIL thru Outlook Express not working anymore? For the past week I keep
getting this error, I made no changes and it's worked for the last year and
a half until then. "The connection to the server has failed. Account:
'Gmail', Server: 'pop.gmail.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 995, Secure(SSL):
Yes, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E"

Running Windows XP SP2, OE 6.0.

I use gmail through Outlook, which relies on OE for POP/SMTP. Works fine
for me.

And just tried that account in OE directly, with no errors.

Try recreating your account.

No problems here.

Troubleshooting error messages that you receive when you are using OL and OE
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/813514

Disable email scanning by your anti-virus application. It provides no
additional protection and even Symantec says it's not necessary:

<QP>
Disabling Email Scanning does not leave you unprotected against viruses that
are distributed as email attachments. Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect scans
incoming files as they are saved to your hard drive, including email and
email attachments. Email Scanning is just another layer on top of this. To
make sure that Auto-Protect is providing the maximum protection, keep
Auto-Protect enabled and run LiveUpdate regularly to ensure that you have
the most recent virus definitions.

Why are you asking here? This group has nothing to do with either
GMail or OE. Notice the title lacks those terms. It is for XP
related questions.

Ask elsewhere
