I added a new account to outlook express. When I try to download email I

The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'ATT GLOBAL', Server:
'popa.attglobal.net', Protocol: POP3, Port: 995, Secure(SSL): Yes, Socket

What can I do to resolve this?

The SMTP server does not answer on port 465. Typically, an SMTP server
requiring SSL uses port 465, not port 25.

The POP3 server does not answer on port 995. Typically, a POP3 server
requiring SSL uses port 995; but if SSL is not supported, uncheck SSL
and use port 110.

The use of SSL is not a user option, it is a mail server option. You
can't check SSL for your mail servers unless those mail servers support
SSL.
