Outlook express AND my Oulook 2003, 2 diiferent email addresses, will
suddenly both stop working and both have the 0x800CC0F errror message.
Then the next day they both work again?
Phoned ISP and pinged my mail accounts.
Turned firewall on and off.
Turned Avast home edition on and off.
Deleted Outlook Express account and added it back.
Read about reinstalling Express, but it is happening in Outlook too?
Might be 'inactivity', but after rebooting pc it does not work?
If it's a 'corrupt' email message, how can it stops both Express and Outlook?
Seems to work after pc is off for many hours?

Please post the error message in its entirety. You can left click on it to
highlight and then right click to copy and then paste it into this thread.

For Outlook Express
Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for
this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of
inactivity. Account: 'pop.telus.net', Server: 'smtp.telus.net', Protocol:
SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F
For Outlook 2003
(let's me hilite but won't let me Copy)... Task "account - Sending' reported
error 0x800CCC0F........
OH, if it makes a difference, I can Receive emails, just not Send them.

The possibilities are many. It still /could/ be your server since it happens
with both OE and Outlook. Some things you can try:

Remove Avast and reinstall. Choose Custom Installation and under Resident
Protection, uncheck: Internet Mail and Outlook/Exchange.

Reset your modem. Unplug it for about 30 seconds and plug it back in. If you
have a router, do the same.

Some other things to consider.

How to troubleshoot error messages that you receive when try to send and
receive e-mail in Outlook and in Outlook Express:

Email scanning should be turned off in any anti-virus. Also exclude EML
files from the scan. It provides no protection not provided by the regular
resident protection.
Besides that, McAfee and Norton are not compatible with Windows Mail and
Outlook Express and should be uninstalled. The latest version of Trend's
anti-virus seems to be causing problems too.

Frank and Bruce,
When I got back from a day out it was working again.
I just went to server time outs and changed it from 1 min to 10 mins,
because I think it might be an 'incativity problem.
I am goint to try to leave Express and outlook off when I leave the pc on a
long time?
Can't it ping every 5 minutes, so it looks active?
