Please don't tell me not to use Outlook Express - I have for years, I like it and have no intention of changing but, this morning I can't (it won't) connect. Keep getting that silly error message
The host 'mail.btinternet.com' could not be found. Please verify that you have entered the server name correctly. Account: *****, Server: 'mail.btinternet.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 11004, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D
I have asterisked out my account name but it is correct and my settings are what they ought to be and what they always have been.
Went into BT Yahoo webmail, which I hate but only other easy option I have, and see it has some wonderful new features which always makes me suspicious. Can't face phoning to see if they have changed the server address or something silly as the chances of getting anyone who knows anything are negligible. Any ideas? I don't have my address book in webmail and really don't have time to mess about with it.
Incidentally my internet connection is fine (obviously!) and I have re-booted once.
