When I first start up Outlook 2003, it contacts the mail
server and everything is hunky-doory. However, when
attempting to next access the mail account by the
send/receive access or in background, it indicates that it
cannot locate the server and gives me error (0x80004210A).
This error number is not consistent other than for the
0x800 portion. The location does not change, so how can it
find it initially, and not later on?
I'm confused.
 
What type of mail server? POP3, IMAP, Exchange, HTTP, Other...? Does the
same happen when you disable your firewall and/or virusscanner
(integration)?

Create a new (additional) profile in Control Panel-> Mail-> button Show
profiles and see if it still happens.
