Can anyone help me resolve this please.

'POP3' is not a normal name for a mail server. Unless it exists in your
ISP DNS system, or a local DNS system, it is an invalid host name.

Any server name you enter into MS Outlook Express must resolve to an IP
address, or MSOE _will_ fail to connect. Your ISP should be able to
supply the appropriate information.
