Pop3 & networking probs

[Guest]

I was using my Pop3 account fine on outlook express up until a week ago. I am
connected to the net via the school's network. I got a virus (from their
network) and so decided to format and start again. Since then, I have been
unable to send or receive mail with my Pop3 account. I also have hotmail
setup in outlook express (and now i am using outlook the full program too),
and the hotmail acounts all work fine.

The network's computer staff dont know what my problem is, and dont care, as
they dont use pop3. Does anyone know what settings I need to change, or what
I need to do?

Thanks

If you made a mistake in recreating any of your account information
(username, password, pop server name, smtp server name) then your email
account won't work.
