Mail access problem

[TheSurgeon]

First the setup:
A home network with ADSL access to Internet and a wireless access point and
4 port router.
Two desktops one wired via ethernet to the wireless access point and the
other with wireless access.
One laptop with wireless access.
One pocket PC with wireless access.
This was the hardware configuration. Now the soft side.
There are four POP3 mail accounts. Say No:1 thru 4.
In all but the desktop with wired connection I can acces ALL mail accounts
using Outlook.
In the desktop with wired ethernet connection I can access only the three
accounts but cannot log in to the fourth account.
For testing purpses I have installed an evaluation copy of Vista to this PC
on another partition and it works fine that means it can access all four
accounts.
What can be the couse and remedy?
Thanks.

P.S.: All network settings like DNS and default gateway etc are the same in
all devices.

I think your mail account settings are wrong in the Desktop for account
number 4.

Thank you for the reply. The account settings are the same as in the other
three computers. And the interesting point is that everything was working
until 3-4 days ago.

Malwares infection may be or corrupt account can cause this, try to delete
the account and create it again after being sure the machine is clean from
malwares and viruses.
Also do you have Anti-virus on this machine enable Outlook to have access to
grab your E-mails from the e-mail server.
HTH.
Let us know.

You post here from a Vista machine. What OSS are on the two desktop PCs and
the laptop? What version of OL on each machine?

What happens when you /try/ to access the POP3 account on the desktop with
the wired connect? Post any error messages you're getting.
