834365 - You receive a “Connection Error: 0x800ccc19 – The connection to the
Server times out” error message when you send or receive e-mail.:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;834365

Although the article above discusses problems using McAffee, it applies as
well to other antivirus/firewall products. If you uninstall the product for
testing purposes and all works well, then you've identitified the problem
area and need to contact the vendor of your antivirus/firewall product for
assistance.
