Outlook Express email problems

[Paul King]

:angry: I use OE to manage a number of accounts and the ones linked to my site keep on failing with this message:

The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'mail.clientbank.co.uk',
Server: 'mail.clientbank.co.uk', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No,
Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

What on earth does this mean?

As you may be able to work out, I am very non-techy, so simple answers like 'Their server isn't working' would be good.

Anyone else had similar problems?
