send/receive mail from website server

[sherman oaks]

i'm trying to set up my second email account in outlook express using my
website mail address. (i'm using a dell d630 laptop running windows xp
professional) I keep getting an error message: the host (my website) could
not be found. please verify that you have entered the server name correctly.
protocol is pop3; port is 110; secure (ssl)L no; socket error: 11004;
error#0x00CCCOD. i've contacted my internet provider who confirmed my
connection is good (i'm receiving my web mail on another computer) and they
referred me to my website host/server who referred me to dell, who referred
me to microsoft since it's their product. any insight would be very much
appreciated. thank you.

Try posting this in an Outlook Express news group - this is not one of them.
Outlook is a part of Microsoft Office and is what this group supports.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and has its own news groups.
