A client uses Outlook Express 6.0 for his email client on an XP Pro Sp3 box.<br />
<br />
He has two mail accounts, both of which were working without problems for several years.<br />
<br />
Suddenly he is getting an error on one of the accounts.The other is working normally.<br />
The error is &quot;No socket. &nbsp;Error 10013. &nbsp;Error Number 0x800ccc0e&quot;<br />
<br />
The firewall is correctly configured but telnet cannot get a connection either, so it appears SMTP is blocked somehow.<br />
<br />
Checking the MX record returns the correct information.<br />
<br />
Any ideas?

Outlook express suddenly stopped working for one account

An email client, email reader or more formally mail user agent (MUA) is a computer program in the category of groupware environments used to access and manage a user's email. A web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions may internally act as an email client; as a whole, it is commonly referred to as webmail. Likewise, email client may be referred to a piece of computer hardware or software whose primary or most visible role is to work as an email client. Email clients can also have other systems, like calendars, notes and contact managers.

Email Clients

An email client, email reader or more formally mail user agent (MUA) is a computer program used to access and manage a user's email. A web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions is sometimes also considered an email client, but more commonly referred to as webmail.

Email Software

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.
