After furious head scratching, asked:

| This one has me baffled. I think it might have to do with the AVG
| antivirus software I recently installed, with which I am generally
| perfectly happy. But it could be something else.
|
| Outlook 2000 is set up to automatically check mail on my ISP's POP3
| server every x minutes. It is also set up to pass outgoing message to
| the SMTP server as soon as they are completed.
|
| This works fine most of the time. However, occasionally (a couple of
| times a week), I will notice I haven't gotten any mail at all for a
| few hours, so I manually check mail and get a popup asking me to
| re-enter the name of the POP3 server. It "can't find" the server.
| It's not a DNS issue. (I get the same thing if I enter the POP
| server's IP address.) My Internet connectivity is fine. I can check
| and retrieve my mail via a browser-based mail client, or by
| telnetting into the POP3 server.
|
| Everything else about Outlook works fine in this condition. I can
| navigate folders, move messages around, use the Calendar and Contacts,
| everything. When I close Outlook, the OUTLOOK process is still
| running, as is MAPISP32 (the MAPI spooler). When I kill them manually
| and open Outlook again, everything is fine and all of my mail from
| the past hours comes pouring in.
|
| Any ideas?
