I have no idea what it's supposed to mean. HELP ME!

Someone at the U-Conn must know how to help. There is no email at
'msnews.microsoft.com', and it is most certainly not a POP3 server; it
is accessed through port 119, and it serves "news articles", which are
the posts you are reading here.

Did you ever get an answer? I am having the same problem. What do I
do????

Hi, Candice,

You use MS Outlook Express, I see. Be careful which button you click on
to send your post; you managed to send an email to my "Reply-To:"
address. I took the liberty of forging your ID, somewhat, to place your
question in the proper place in the thread. You want to use the "Reply
Group" button (looks like a pinned note with a curved arrow), not the
"Reply" button (looks like a silhouette of a head with a curved arrow).

If your error is exactly the same as Brianna's error, you have a
misconfiguration of your client. The server, 'msnews.microsoft.com' is
_not_ a POP3 server, and you can't connect to it on port 110. It is an
NNTP server, and only accepts connections on port 119.

To configure MS Outlook Express to download email from a POP3 server,
you have to change the server name from 'msnews.microsoft.com', to the
name of your POP3 server. In the case of a GMail account, which you used
to send your email, the server name is 'pop.gmail.com'. You should
follow the instructions in this link to set up MSOE with GMail:

http://mail.google.com/support/bin/a...276&topic=1555

But the headers in your email tell me:

Which is a Chinese ISP in the People's Republic of China. If you are
trying to fetch POP3 email from that ISP, you will need to find out the
name of their POP3 mail server. I can't begin to guess because I don't
know the ISP.

I went back and look and my error msg is not exactly the same but I think it
may be close to the same thing.

The host SMPT could not befound. Please verify that you have entered the
server name correctly. Account: "POP", Server "SMPT" Protocol: SMPT, Port:
25, Secure (SSL) No, Socket error 11001, error number 0x800CCC0D

I am teaching for a year in China and I can't use my Outlook Express.
Anyway...It sounds like I need to get ahold of my provider and get the info
I need. None of the other teachers have had to do this...eerrrr...I AM SUCH
A NOVICE. Thank you for any and all helpful info.

SMPT is not the name of your server. You will have to contact your email
provider and see what the server names should be. Many providers have a Web
page that gives that information.
