Outlook 2003, "connection to server is offline"

[johkar]

Outlook 2003 (11.8010.8107) SP2

Out of the blue our Outlook is not downloading messages and produces
the following error. The server is online. We use the Outlook
Connector to our MSN account if that makes a difference. I say out of
the blue, but we are setup to download updates automatically so it is
possible an update caused the problem I suppose.

"Sending and Receiving reported error 0x80040126. The operation cannot
be completed because the connection to the server is offline."

Any help appreciated. I did do a "Repair" on the Connector, but that
did no good.

The Outlook Connector is having problems based on a recent Microsoft patch.
Check with MSN for solutions - it belongs to MSN, not Outlook.
