Outlook Express error: The connection to the server has failed.

I'm trying to get my emails through Outlook Express and I keep getting this messge.

"The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'NB Net', Server: 'pop1.nbnet.nb.ca', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E "

I tryed also in MS Outlook and I basicly get the same thing. All the account info is correct and I've tryed it on mail2web.com and it works fine.

Is there a patch that I need?

Go into the account properties, under Server, try unchecking Secure password authentication, then under Advanced, uncheck SSL for incoming and outgoing. Not all email servers support these.
