I am using outlook express 6 for e-mail. Two users on my computer. We have seperate e-mail accounts. The problem happens if one user or the other logs off, we cannot establish a connection to recieve or sent mail. The only way we can get the connection back is to reboot the computer. This ends up being quite a hassel and time consumer. The following is the error we get........... The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'pop.embarqmail.com', Server: 'pop.embarqmail.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E Is there a way to re-fire up the e-mail server connection? Tried truning off, disabling, and unplugging the modem for the DSL provider connection but it won't re-connect to the e-mail account. The internet connection ,in the mean time, continues to work just fine.

Are the users logging off or just switching users?

The user is logged off. For some reason the switch user function won't work. But that is the next problem to tackle.
