One of my office pc unable to respond while trying to download emails.
While trying to download the mails, the system shows, "find host", then "Connected" and encountered msg "....not responding after 300 seconds."
I am using Outlook express and have checked that all settings are correct.

Please advise.

Ensure that you have a valid connection...send yourself an email and see if you receive it. If it sends the message ok but doesn't bounce back then it indicates that you are connected. Therefore it could possibly be one of two things.
Your incomingmail properties are incorrect or there is a problem with the POP3 server. Before checking the server I'd remove the account in Outlook Express and put it back....it can sometimes occur if there's a corruption in the account.

I am trying to connect to the mail server through LAN connection. No problem with another 3 pcs with the same setup. Those pcs able to send and download emails without any problem. The problem is when I click on "Send/Receive" the server seems like unable to respond.
