Can someone please help me. The above error is coming up when I try to
connect to Outlook Express. I know someone else had an error number
0x800CC0E which was to do with an anti-spam program or and anti-virus set to
scan, but have tried this (I have McAfee) and this does not work. Mind you
I haven't reset the server names in OE as I don't know how to do this.

Is the error similar to this:

| The connection to the server has failed.
| Account: 'None',
| Server: 'mail.pacbell.net',
| Protocol: SMTP,
| Port: 25,
| Secure(SSL): No,
| Socket Error: 10060,
| Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

I get that when I put in a router block on outbound port 25. There may
be other causes.
