0x800CCCF error message

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I bought a new laptop running Vista Home Premium 32 bit. I set up my work
email on Windows Mail. I have had it running with no problems. Recently
installed Windows Live Mail (also no problems setting up), but would now
prefer to use Outlook 2007. When I installed Office and started Outlook, it
found my account settings from Windows Mail and imported them. However it
will not send and receive email. Every time I try it comes up with the error:

Task 'ben_patten@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - Receiving' reported error (0x800CCC0F)
: 'The connection to the server was interrupted. If this problem continues,
contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'

Now the strange thing is that I have checked my account settings to make
sure they are the same for both Windows Mail and Outlook. Yet Windows Mail
still continues to operate normally and Outlook continues to come up with
this error message. I am not running any antivirus or personal firewalls
(just the stock windows software) at this stage so I am sure it is not this
(also I suspect it would affect Windows Mail as well if this were the
problem). Any help greatly appreciated.

Warm regards, Ben
