Connection to the Internet, OK; No email

My PC's running XP, has installed Outlook Express 6, Microsoft Outlook 2002 and Mozilla Thunderbird.
My connection to the Internet is fine: ISP is Hawk (www.hawkcommunications.com). My web-based email with my ISP works OK. Problem is, when I try to use my other local email apps I get these error messages:
Outlook Express:
"The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'Hawk. -', Server: 'mail1.aaahawk.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E"

MS Outlook 2002:
"Task 'efrain@aaahawk.com - Sending and Receiving' reported error (0x80042108) : 'Outlook is unable to connect to your incoming (POP3) e-mail server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'"

Mozilla t-bird:
"Connection to server mail1.aaahawk.com timed out"

Could it be the modem is malfunctioning?.
Please reply asap.
Thanks for any help or input

Is ur incoming mail server "mai1.aaahawk.com" ?

Did this issue started suddenly ?  I cannot seem to ping mail1.aaahawk.com..  Have you already checked with your ISP if that pop3 server is having any issues ?

ASKER

Incoming mail server: mail1.aaahawk.com
outgoing mail server:  smtp2.aaahawk.com

Now, at this moment (4/9/05, 11:10 pm cst) there seems to be a problem with my ISP,
but before I could access my web-based email, and no luck with the other email apps.

Thanks.
Even if the pop3 service is being stopped or having issues , you would still be able to view the emails going to webmail.

check with your ISP if there is still an issue with pop3 server
