port (socket error)

Hi

Can anyone help me here please??

Outlook Express has been working fine since installed but I have now started getting the following error message;

The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'xxxW', Server: 'mail.btinternet.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

Googled this and followed all the guidelines ref turning off anti-virus/ firewalls etc.

No joy so I contacted my ISP (BT Yahoo)..They ran their pcshare diagnostics and tell me that it is a port error and I need the pc vendor to repair it!!

I don't know why but this doesn't seem right, I can get web based mail so feel that the problem lies either with my ISP or with OE itself and not the PC.

Any views/ideas would be greatly appreciated

Many thanks

Kevin
