OL2k: Sending but not receiving e-mail

I have been using OL2000 on my desktop (WinME) for a while and yesterday it
stopped my POP3 e-mail. I can send e-mail just fine. I checked with my ISP
and all the settings seem just correct. I also have OL Express and the
e-mail seems to come in there just fine. I don’t know if it is related but
OL Express is acting a little weird: I am getting pestered by little windows
telling me to enter my name and p/w, which are already in the blocks. I
click OK and the window closes and then reappears. I do this 5-6 times until
I get some peace. I just got a new notebook (WinXP Pro) and installed
OL2003. E-mail works just fine there, both sending and receiving. I have
had previous trouble with OL2000 and my e-mail and have reinstalled OL a
couple times n the past 4 months or so. Any suggestions?
 
Here's another hint: OL2K will no longer close properly. After clicking on
the Close icon a "Please wait while Outlook closes" message sits on the
screen indefinitely. I can't remove it without going to the Close Programs
window (Ctrl-Alt-Del). I have had this problem several times in the past 4
months or so and fixed it (obviously never permanently) by reinstalling
Office each time. Sounds like that's where this is headed again. But any
idea why this is happening? I will be throwing this PC away soon because
something is always going wrong, but quite yet.
