The good thing about OE (outlook express) is that it is a pretty simple program - it talks to POP3 servers on port 110 and SMTP servers on port 25 (unless you have changed it'd default, or are doing some weird proxying somewhere...) Always a good test is to see if you can connect to the POP3 server (assuming you can surf the internet just fine...) Open a cmd prompt and type telnet mail.domain.com 110 mail.domain.com will be the FQDN of your POP3 server. If that works, I would bet money that OE will work, as long as it is in its default config.

I cant understand why but it seems that PIX has affected my Outlook Express. The error message I have got from Outlook Express is:- "Your POP3 server has not responded in 60 seconds. Would like to wait another 60 seconds for the server to respond?" - I don't think Microsoft Technet Q186272 is relevant to my case here as I am not using Outlook Express for Sun Solaris" on my NT 4 Workstation. "A time-out occurred while communicating with the server. Account :'User', Server: 'Machine A', Protocol: POP3, Port 110, Secure (SSL): No, Error Number:0x800CCC19. - The closest article I can find from Technet Q254926, which again, does not really suit my incident here as I have got error about POP3 Server, not SMTP Server. Plus, I do not have modem installed on my NT Workstation. Current environment:- Exchange POP3 Server = Machine A Exchange SMTP Server = Machine B Mail Client = Outlook Express and Microsoft Outlook Mail Relay Server = Machine C running on LINUX New Firewall on production = Cisco PIX Old Firewall = Firewall Checkpoint (just decomissioned last week) Please....if you can think of anything, I would really appreciate to hear your inputs.
