The environment:
Network Server: SBS 4.5 sp6a
Client: Windows 2000

After working without any issues for months, all of a sudden my Outlook
Express 5 and 6 (I upgraded) generate the following message when attempts to
send and receive email fail:
The connection to the server has failed. Account:
'MyAccountop.myISP.net',
Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10061, Error
Number: 0x800CCC0E
I can surf the web. And I can send and receive email via Outlook through
Exchange 5.5 sp4.
But Outlook Express fails. I have deleted and recreated the accounts in OE
to no avail.

Any ideas on what causes this? And what the fix is. I have looked at some of
Microsoft's KB and tried the solutions suggested, but they do not work.
Surprise! Surprise! ;o( Other clients are able to receive POP email, so I
do not think it is something at the Server. I'm stumped!

Thanks for your help.

Remove Outlook Express and re-install it. Make sure SMTP is turned on, as
Outlook Express is using the SMTP to connect and send. This is a
communication error. To test if the server is working properly on SMTP port
use telnet, and do a simple telnet session to port 25. Goodluck

Might want to try uninstalling and reinstalling the Proxy Client on that PC
as well.

I noticed the the Proxy Client icon (WSP Client) was not displayed in the
Control Panel, so I did uninstall it, then I rebooted the computer, and
manually reinstalled it. Although the icon is still not visible in the
Control Panel, the problem was solved.
As for the icon, that's another issue to investigate.
Thanks for the help.

Have a look at article 191687 XIMS: outlook express pop3, error 0x800CCC0E
socket error 10061.

The lack of the icon is a known issue with the installer. You have to
manually copy the WSPCPL32.CPL file into windows\system32 to get it to show
up. Not really a big deal unless you need the panel to shut proxy off for
laptops, etc.
