cannot connect to incoming mail server

My Outlook 2002 has stopped receiving mail. When testing it will not connect
to the incoming mail server all though it has done so in the past.

Maybe the e-mail provider change on what port you need to use to connect
to their mail host. You didn't mention WHICH type of e-mail account you
have (POP, IMAP, HTTP, Exchange).

What happens when you try to telnet to their mail host?

telnet <pophost> 110

or

telnet <imaphost> 143

Do you see a welcome line? Can telnet find that host?

"stopped receiving e-mail". And how do you know? Are there e-mails
waiting in the Inbox when you use the webmail interface to your e-mail
account? Is there an error message in Outlook for the mail session?
