not able to access POP3

[Greg]

I'm using Outlook Express. All server settings are
correct for sending/receiving mail. I can access my ISP
without any problems. But for the last 5 days or so, I
have not been able to access the POP3 server. I have
contacted my isp, and they said that the mail account is
active and that their servers are fine. I can even get to
it from another older computer. But with my new Dell with
Windows XP, it basically times out. Again, it's only been
doing it for the last 5 days or so. The ISP says my
computer is fine and can be accessed from the server, so
it must be Outlook Express that is the problem. Trouble
is, I can't find any info on how to fix it. There's no
way to uninstall and reinstall OE. I know that it is
linked with IE6, and I have gone to the download section
of microsoft and downloaded IE6, but all it seemed to do
was make sure that I was running the right version.

Problem sound a bit strange but if you think it's OE then
ou can uninstall it from Add/Remove Programs in Control
Panel. (Currently it's checking the version because it's
installed already which is correct). Once it's
uninstalled properly you can install it again from the IE
download.

I'm using Outlook Express.

Then ask in an Outlook Express newsgroup.
