Sorry I was gone for a few day's. In answer to your question My ISP is
charter.net. Have tried twice with them & they say it is a MSFT problem.
Also called Dell & they wanted $125.00 to fix because my three warranty
was
up in Jan. To me it was not worth it.

It is not a "msft" problem. "POP3" is not a valid server name.

What is the name of your ISP?

try

That's a different one than the previous one that you posted. This
one
is for receiving mail, the previous one for sending.

This one says that your account is Not correctly set up in in Outlook
Express. The server name would not be simply POP3. You need to
contact
your mail service for correct settings.

Your previous error message was for sending and said that you
couldn't
connect to the SMTP mail server for sending. Because you didn't have
the complete message, we can't tell what server you were attempting
to
send via. Once possible cause is trying to use the wrong SMTP mail
server. Generally you are limited to the SMTP mail server of the ISP
that you are currently using to connect to the Internet.

The host 'POP3' could not be found. Please verify that you have
entered the
server name correctly. Account: 'POP3', Server: 'POP3', Protocol:
POP3, Port:
110, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 11001, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D
I hope this helps

====================================

Troubleshooting error messages that you receive when you are using
OL
and OE
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/813514

Disable email scanning by your anti-virus application. It provides
no
additional protection and even Symantec says it's not necessary:

QP
Disabling Email Scanning does not leave you unprotected against
viruses that
are distributed as email attachments. Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect
scans
incoming files as they are saved to your hard drive, including
email
and
email attachments. Email Scanning is just another layer on top of
this. To
make sure that Auto-Protect is providing the maximum protection,
keep
Auto-Protect enabled and run LiveUpdate regularly to ensure that
you
have
the most recent virus definitions.
