PST folder moved, can't connect to internet

I have 2 computers running Outlook 2003 on XP. I copied my outlook.pst file
to the second computer, and Outlook reads the file, but when I try to access
any of my three email accounts, I get this message: "Receiving' reported
error (0x8004210A) : 'The operation timed out waiting for a response from the
receiving (POP) server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your
server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'"
I'm able to get on the internet with IE, and I can access my emails through
the web, but not through Outlook. I think the account information
transferred over properly along with my messages, calendar, etc. Any idea why
Outlook can't access the net?

The pst doesnot contain account information
You may have corrupted your OL Profile in the method you used to transfer /
copy the pst.
Create a new Profile, add the accounts & the correct Data File, & test
accounts

Unless you explicitly created the accounts, you don't have them.
Transferring the PST doesn't touch the accounts. Use the Mail applet in
Control Panel while Outlook is closed to create the accounts you need.
