I can only give you misery is company. My husband who uses the abominable Outlook software has had the same problem frequently and asks me to fix it (yeah, right). Usually it takes a call to the local server, waiting interminably, and re-entering the POP address. They seem to require this every few months. I'm sure there must be some sort of conspiracy behind it but I lack sufficient clues. Got to go rescue an animal from a 1 1/2 yr old I'm watching. Tell me why I have cats, birds, mice, and toddlers in the same house. Coffee just isn't going to be enough.

This is truly starting to irritate me.
