I receive the following message after downloading 450 messages out of 670 in my mail box. I can't get past this message. Everytime I start outlook express it starts with message number 1.

Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Account: 'MSN Mail', Server: 'pop3.email.msn.com', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '+OK 249 bytes', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F

Check the e-mail account to see if you authenticate to the SMTP
(outbound) mail server. If not, the ISP is trying to reuse the username
and password given for when you connect first to their POP3 server but
that expires after some interval they set.

Could be you have a corrupted e-mail that the mail server pukes on when
it tries to download it to you. Use the webmail interface to your
e-mail account to see if there is a huge e-mail in your Inbox, like it
has a big attachment. If you enable logging in your e-mail client, you
can see on which message the mail server hangs and then times out, so
use the webmail interface to delete that e-mail or move it into another
folder temporarily.
