Cant send or recieve mail with OE using avast 4.6 home ed

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

Ive just installed avast and it seems to be running well.

Only problem is I get this message when I try to send or recieve mail with Outlook Express

The connection to the server has failed. Account: ‘pop.ntlworld.com’, Server: ‘127.0.0.1’, Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

Make sure that the Avast components have access to the net in your firewall

You can Google for the error. Test 0x800CCC0E searching. For instance.

Which is your operational system? XP?

no its Windows 98

If you have Windows 98\Me, the change of the login settings is normal while using avast. See http://forum.avast.com/index.php?action=display;board=2;threadid=7913;start=0#msg64228

With Win98 SE you should have:

pop3 server= smtp server = 127.0.0.1
username = mail.server.coml#user or mail.server.com#user@server.com
smtp authentication enabled and the username there = mail.server.coml#user or mail.server.com#user@server.com
