I have the exact same problem as J-Man. Unfortunately the solution
that worked for him (turning off Norton firewall) does not apply to me
since I do not have any Norton software. After seeing his message I
turned off the Windows firewall but that makes no difference. I can
retrieve messages in Outlook Express and then import them into Outlook
2003 but that is getting really tedious. Thanks for any ideas.

In ink.net,
J-Man typed:
Outlook 2003

I ran and installed the most recent security update (see Knowledge
Base 892843); ever since, I can no longer send or receive e-mails. I
checked all of the settings and nothing seems to have changed. What
gives?

What error messages do you get?

No error messages in Outlook; it just hangs and never finishes accessing the
e-mail. When I try to do "test settings" in the account setup section, all
the tests (except the first one for finding the connection) fail, and the
error messages are all of the "the server was found, but there was no
response from the server."
