Hi Cathy,

Can you confirm that your MSN account is POP3? All new accounts are HTML
(Hotmail type) accounts. Only a shrinking number of "Legacy" users have POP3
(MSN) accounts. In any event, it appears the account is not set-up properly.
The MSN Support page might have instructions for using Outlook Express.

assuming that you are using the msn account only to correct gather
information to fix the error in your pop3 mail accounts,
the server name in

tools
accounts
mail
"Your mail account that is having problems"
properties
servers

is recorded as 'pop3' not very likely since pop3 is a mail type
it should be the server name of your ISP, often 'mail.ISP.something', or
'pop.ISP.somethingelse'
the easiest check, and often useful, is to check the ISP web page for the
proper settings for their email setup, in faq or helpscreens

I also get this error message. The 0x800CCC0D code refers to my ISP (BT Bt
Broadband) and the helpdesk confirmed my details were correct, ie a POP3
server etc. An additional error code is apparantly a Microsoft one,
....Ox000CCC18.

I'm using broadband with an ADSL modem, and could use som eassistance.

If you don't include previous replies in your post, it is very unclear what
your problem is. This is what I have for your error. If it does not help,
please post the entire error message and what you are doing when you see it.

Error 0x000ccc18:
1. Recheck account information, make sure account is not case sensitive
(most are), close OE and restart computer before attempting to re-connect.
Also set up a different identity and see if OE will allow logon form a
different identity with the same information.

2. Make sure your account is still active with the ISP and that the ISP is
not having an e-mail outage.
