Today we have been unable to receive emails on Outlook 2003.We get the above
error message but the solutions for this do not work.This is the message we
get-
Task 'POP.freeserve.com - Receiving' reported error (0x8004210E) : 'Your
mailbox is temporarily unavailable because another e-mail message is being
delivered to it or another mail application is accessing it. The server
responded: -ERR [IN-USE] Unable to open maildrop'
We have tried everything but cannot put it right

What did your ISP say when you contacted them? Can you access your mail using a web interface? What size does your ISP allow for mailboxes? Have you reached that limit?
