The full text of the error message would be helpful. That includes the
server name, server type, port number, socket error code, SSL, etc. For
best results, copy/paste the error message rather than retyping it. You
should be able to highlight the message text in the error window (hold
down the left mouse button while dragging the mouse over the text).
Then press Ctrl-C (hold down the Ctrl key while pressing the C key) to
copy the highlighted text to the Windows clipboard. You can then paste
that text into the problem description using the Ctrl-V key combination.

The error codes indicate that the connection to the server was refused.

A mail server is the equivalent of a post office. Your mail program
connects to the mail server to pick up (receive/download) your incoming
mail or to send outgoing mail.

If the error mentions the Incoming POP3 server, it most likely a problem
with your anti-virus scanning e-mail and messing things up.

If the problem mentions the Outgoing SMTP mail server, it most likely an
issue of your using the wrong mail server. Generally for outgoing mail
you are limited to using the SMTP mail server of the Internet Server
Provider that you are currently using.

receive e-mail in Outlook and in Outlook Express
