SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to receive an e-mail message in Outlook Express, the
following error message may appear:
An unknown error has occurred. Account: account name, Server: server name,
Protocol: POP3, Port:110, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x80004005
RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, rename the affected .mbx file, and then restart
Outlook Express or Outlook 2003: 1. Click Start, point to Find, and then
click Files or Folders.
2. In the Named box, type Inbox.mbx or Inbox.dbx.
3. In the Look in box, click your primary hard disk (usually drive C), and
then click Find Now.
4. Right-click the Inbox.mbx file that appears or the Inbox.dbx file that
appears, and then click Rename.
5. Type Inbox.old, and then click OK.
6. Restart Outlook Express or Outlook 2003
However I looked everywhere and nowhere can we find any of those files. This
is a BRAND NEW computer with ZERO installation??
I will appreciate any help sent to my Email at pierre.levy.soussi@gmail.com

Those instructions are for a Windows version,
this newsgroup is for the Mac version...
Hence the name of the group.
You might want to ask on a non-Mac group.

If you _are_ using a Mac,
try making another Identity, with fresh Account info, and try again.

Please don't expose yourself like that,
at least try to keep the sp*m out of your inbox.
