Sorry I was gone for a few day's. In answer to your question My ISP is
charter.net. Have tried twice with them & they say it is a MSFT problem. Also
called Dell & they wanted $125.00 to fix because my three warranty was up in
Jan. To me it was not worth it.

your mail service for correct settings.

Your previous error message was for sending and said that you couldn't

Did you install or uninstall some software when you came back or just

Either of those can mess with your mail account settings.

Did you log on as a different Windows user? Each Windows user has his

I see your email provider is charter.net

According to Help at their website, both your outgoing and incoming mail
settings to use their severs are "mail.charter.net".

What are your settings?

Open outlook express, choose Tools, on it's menu choose Accounts.

Internet Accounts dialog window should display, select mail tab, then select
your account, choose Properties.

Your Account Properties dialog window should display, select Servers tab.

Sever Information should be.....

My incoming sever is a POP3 sever

Incoming mail (POP3): mail.charter.net

Outgoing mail (SMTP): mail.charter.net

Did you do that using your own laptop? If so, you might have changed
your settings in the process of getting it to work at the library over
their Wi-Fi network.

If you were using a library PC, that would not have caused the problem.

Disable email scanning by your anti-virus application. It provides
no
additional protection and even Symantec says it's not necessary:

QP
Disabling Email Scanning does not leave you unprotected against
viruses that
are distributed as email attachments. Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect
scans
incoming files as they are saved to your hard drive, including email
and
email attachments. Email Scanning is just another layer on top of
this. To
make sure that Auto-Protect is providing the maximum protection, keep
Auto-Protect enabled and run LiveUpdate regularly to ensure that you
have
the most recent virus definitions.

Sorry I was gone for a few day's. In answer to your question My ISP is

Also called Dell & they wanted $125.00 to fix because my three warranty
was
up in Jan. To me it was not worth it.

It is not a "msft" problem. "POP3" is not a valid server name.

What is the name of your ISP?

This one says that your account is Not correctly set up in in Outlook
Express. The server name would not be simply POP3. You need to
contact
your mail service for correct settings.

Your previous error message was for sending and said that you
couldn't
connect to the SMTP mail server for sending. Because you didn't have
the complete message, we can't tell what server you were attempting
to
send via. Once possible cause is trying to use the wrong SMTP mail
server. Generally you are limited to the SMTP mail server of the ISP
that you are currently using to connect to the Internet.

The host 'POP3' could not be found. Please verify that you have
entered the
server name correctly. Account: 'POP3', Server: 'POP3', Protocol:
POP3, Port:
110, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 11001, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D
I hope this helps
