Sending and Receiving Error in Outlook

[Guest]

Outlook 2002. I am dogged by an error I keep getting in Outlook when I try
to do a Send or a Receive All. Outlook seems to come up and work the first
time I bring the computer up and start Outlook. My messages are downloaded.
However, invariably later when I try I get the following error for each of my
email accounts ("xyz" is the account name):

Task "xyz" - Sedning and receiving reported error (0x80042108): Outlook is
unable to connect to your incoming (POP3) e-mail server. If you continue to
receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service
provider (ISP).

IT AIN'T MY ISP! Thanks for your help.

Do you have an internet security related product installed (e.g. antivirus,
antispam, firewall) that can scan pop3 e-mail as it is downloaded? If yes,
try uninstalling/reinstalling without e-mail integration.

ps - by the way, are u running windows xp (sp2)?

I should have included this link for other possibilities to rule out.
