CAUSE
These error messages may occur if Microsoft Outlook or if Microsoft Outlook Express cannot establish a connection with your e-mail server. These error messages are frequently caused by one of the following:
• Incorrect account settings
• Misconfiguration of personal firewall software
• Antivirus software
• A bad modem
• Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) size
• Outlook Express has been removed from the computer or the installation is damaged
• Your user profile in Outlook is damaged
• An e-mail item on your POP3 server is damaged

ok prob solved i went to my FAQ's for my hosting company and turns out since i moved to a new area with a new ISP last week the new ISP blocks the port # i had for my outgoing mail. they recomended an alt port # which i have since changed and now i'm all good and am able to send and receive with no probs !

thank you very much for your assistance.
