Dell computer. It says that the "POP3" isnt connected so
i cant receive or send e-mail!!! HELP!! How do i fix this

waited hours on the phone and have not gotten any
assistance!

Who is your ISP/mail host? Seems like you might want to contact them for
support. I presume you can get to the Internet just fine....

What is the address of your POP3 server? Is this a server that your ISP has
provided you with or is it outside of your ISP?

You might also want to try to telnet to the server to make sure that you can
"see" it from where you are:

Click:
Start, run
At the box, type CMD
At the black screen, type telnet mail.servername.com 110

In the above example, "mail.servername.com" must be replaced with the name
of your POP3 server. If you get OK, that is good. Check your Outlook
settings to make sure everything is setup right.

this is not a problem with DELL or Microsoft but your ISP,

Who do you get your internet connection from? call them.
or if you have your own domain name that you use call
your hosting company.
