If you've had it working in the past but this just started happening, it may
well be a server problem as the message states. All you can do under those
circumstances is wait it out. If you are able to get your mail from the web
server, that doesn't preclude problems with the pop3 server. They get the
same messages mirrored to each other but they function independently of each
other.

If you've never been able to get your e-mail through Outlook Express, that's
a mail setup issue and you'll have to contact Earthlink or check their
website to be sure your account is properly set up in Outlook Express.
