outlook express error code

Can you ping the email server by name and by IP address?

example:
* Start | Run
* Type: command.com
* Type: ping mail.<isp.net>
* Press enter

Note: replace <isp.net> with the name of your isp

Did you double check your account settings to ensure that haven't been modified?

Hey, Chris...

Dunno if this is *directly* related to your issue; however, if you are connected to the Internet through MSN, the Microsoft Network, and you attempt to send messages by using an account other than your MSN e-mail account, you may receive an error message that is similar to the one you mention.  This behavior can occur because MSN does not allow messages to be sent to another Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server while you are connected to their network.

To resolve this behavior, see the following technet article (source):

Hope this helps...

still no joy

Ok, then we need more info here... when did this start?  Were you able to check mail w/out this error earlier?  What service do you use?  Operating system?

Error codes aren't going to give us enough to answer this question without some more info on the environment.

Let us know some more...
