Just to say thanks for the advice but I have noticed that there are other odd things bappening on my PC which I am going to poost a different question about, and which might possibly be affecting Outlolok. I will come back to this issue after I have resolved the other issues.

Having now done a clean reinstall of VIsta and MS Office I am checking with the mail server to see if the problem lies there.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a desktop and a laptop using MS Outlook 2007. With the same settings (as far as I can see)<br />
for an email address linking via POP with our server, the laptop succeeds and the desktop fails with a test message. In the popup window &quot;Test Account Setttings&quot;, appears first straight away:<br />
&quot;Outlook:Logon to incoming mail server (POP3) &nbsp;- Failed &quot;&nbsp; &nbsp;and then below,<br />
&quot;Send email message &nbsp;- completed&quot;<br />
<br />
The error is :Log onto incoming mail server (POP3): Cannot find the e-mail server. Verify the server information in your account properties.<br />
<br />
Any ideas?<br />

Interactions between email servers and clients are governed by email protocols. The three most common email protocols are POP, IMAP and MAPI. Most email software operates under one of these (and many products support more than one).  The correct protocol must be selected, and correctly configured, if you want your email account to work.
