error (0x80042108)

I'm running Windows XP SP2 with Outlook 2002 SP3 with all the latest patches
from outlook.microsoft.com. I have 2 ccounts which have worked for years.
The first is to our Exchange server (which works flawlessly) the second is to
an account on my personal website. When I try and retrieve messages, Outlook
sends all outbound messages (via SMTP), but then cannot receive inbound email
(via POP3). I get the following message when I try:

"Task '<servername> - Receiving' reported error (0x80042108): 'Outlook
is unable to connect to your incoming (POP3) e-mail server. If you
continue to receive this message, contact your administrator or
Internet Service Provider (ISP)."

I can telnet from the command prompt to the servers address using the POP3
port (110) without issue.

When I telnet from the command prompt to the servers address using the SMTP
port (25) I get message: 220 rblsmtpd.local.

I have called my ISP tech support and the host server tech support of my
website and they are both clueless.

Can anybody help me with this issue?
