The server is not down as i can access the website and emails via
webmail.

Whether or not you can access the website or your mail via a web interface
has nothing to do with wether or not you can access that mailbox via a POP
server. You're not proving anything about whether the POP server is running
when you access a web server.

I did have problems accessing webmail, though that was
resolved by changing my proxy settings in internet options /
connections / Lan settings / Advanced

With the Broadband help line i have virtually reset all my defaults in
Internet explorer.

If you'd include the settings you have for the account and for the proxy
settings, perhaps someone can tell you why they don't work.

I currently use Norton Firewall and Norton Symantec
antivirus an have done so for two years.

Make sure Outlook is listed as an allowed program in the firewall and
disable scanning mail in the AV program.
