I haven't been able to get on my Outlook Express email for weeks.
This keeps popping up in the "send/recieve" bar.

The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'shawmail', Server:
'127.0.0.1', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 5101, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error:
10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E


Please help.
 
The mail account properties indicate that Outlook Express is trying to talk
to the machine it is installed on and not the ISP. Do you have any type of
antivirus, antispam, or personal firewall software installed that can scan
POP/SMTP mail on the fly?

If not certain, try changing your mail account properties to that of your
ISP and see if the pop/smtp server name changes back to localhost (or
127.0.0.1) after restarting Outlook Express.
