Hi wyatt,

If you give us more information in regards with your internet connection ,
account configuration, etc. would give us more insight to the problem.

Try this trouble shooting outlook express wizard....

Did you:

1) Check your network connection
2) Check if your account password is correct

Which version of Outlook Express are u using?

Usually an ISP problem.

As Unknown mentions this is usually an ISP problem or a problem with their
mail server. I've run into persistent timeout errors on occasion. For one
account especially, mail was "stuck" in the pipe. By signing on to the
account via a web interface, I could clear out the offending piece of mail.
Afterwards, picking up email with my email program went back to normal.

If your ISP does not offer a web interface, you could call them and ask
them to check your inbox for you.
