Can't send or receive

[Pescador Law]

Running on XP Pro & using Outlook 2000. I have emails on different ISPs.
They all worked fine until yesterday morning. Suddenly, they aren't working.
Did not update anything or change anything. Wondering if I'm going to have
to reinstall Outlook...

Error message on sending is "Task '[account name] - Sending' reported error
(0x800CCC0F) : 'The connection to the server was interrupted. IF this
problem continues, contact your server administrator or Internet service
provider (ISP).'

Error message on receiving is also a 'connection to the server was
interrupted' message.

Is something corrupted in Outlook such that I'll have to reinstall it? Or
is there something else I can do?

are you using a firewall or antispam software? did you try rebooting?

Did you follow the instructions and contact your ISP?

Yes, but no settings were changed at all during that time period. I rebooted
several times.

Remarkably, and thankfully, it self-resolved this morning.

Yes, I did. They tested their end and reported no problems.
