Default switch from dial-up to broadband and ie6 fails

Working under XP sp2, Internet Explorer 7, OE6

Over the weekend I switched from dial-up to broadband.

OE 6 now fails to send or receive email and it has been so many years I
cannot recall how to configure it anew.

I get this error message:

The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'pop3.email.msn.com',
Server: 'smtp.email.msn.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No,
Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

What am I doing wrong? Any advice?

Question 2: since I am aware that Outlook Express probably has a short life
span ahead, is now the time to switch to something else, like Outlook or
Live Mail. I want to preserve my present email address.

Thanks.

Jim
