Can't receive e-mails - sometimes
 

I have had the following problem for some time but it's very haphazard, it
comes and goes. I suddenly find that I am unable to receive my e-mails and I
get the following two messages which refer to both of the methods I log on
to AT&T to send e-mails, both my own broadband system and that which I might
use when I'm travelling. I usually travel quite a lot, but I haven't
travelled much recently, so I can't say if I am having the same problem
anywhere else apart from here at home with my broadband system.



"The host 'popa.attglobal.net' could not be found. Please verify that you
have entered the server name correctly. Account: 'AT&T Global Network Client
Mail', Server: 'popa.attglobal.net', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL):
No, Socket Error: 11004, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D

Error: 11004, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D"



I don't seem to be receiving my e-mails automatically, either, when OE is
running. And when I send e-mails, I get a message back saying 'no new
messages' but it's lying because when I press 'send and receive', I get new
messages.



People say that Virus Protection and Firewalls can upset the sending of
e-mails. According to Windows Security Center, the Firewall is off but Virus
Protection is on. I have AVG anti-virus which is on as is the Resident
Shield. The E-mail scanner is not fully functional.



I do wonder if OE is damaged in some way. How can I find out and repair?



Sorry this is a bit long; easy, simple answers please in words of one
syllable for ageing computer illiterate.
