BleepingComputer.com: Outlook Express Problems

I started out with Zonelabs Security suite, and everything was working fine. But then I encountered a problem with my instant messaging client, so I unintalled it. Realizing this was a mistake I reinstalled it, and now, everytime I try to check my outlook express email, I get this error message: Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Account: 'host.com', Server: 'host.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F

I shut off everything on zonelabs, the firewall, the program protection, and it still does it. I've shut it down and it still cannot send/receieve my mail. What is the problem? How can I get my e-mail. I do get it about every 3-4 days, but then I recieve 100 emails at a time. Is there anything else besides the firewall/security suite that could have caused this?

Have a look at this Micro$oft Knowledge Base Article.

The ditections that it gives me I don't have. I don't have any of those programs that it says.

Okay, I think you will find This M$ Article alot more helpful.
It is called "How to Troubleshoot Error Messages In Outlook Express."
