For whatever it is worth, you might try the steps listed by Microsoft regarding the specific Outlook error message you received: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/813514

It could be corrupted user profile/mail on server following bad shutdown that is impeding subsequent connection.

"These error messages may occur if Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft Outlook Express cannot establish a connection with your e-mail server. These error messages are frequently caused by one of the following:

* You are not connected to the Internet or a network, or your mail server is temporarily unavailable.
* Your account settings are incorrect.
* Your user profile in Outlook is damaged.
* An e-mail item on your POP3 server is damaged.
* The configuration of your AV software is incorrect.
* Outlook Express was removed from the computer or the installation is damaged.
* The configuration of your personal firewall software is incorrect."
