Ok this is getting pretty annoying here.
Initially i had my POP email account setup with entourage which has been working fine for months but since yesterday i havent been able to connect to the server at all (which is odd because my parents both have accounts on the same server/same domain and they both connect fine). So i tried setting up the POP in apple mail and can not connect either but then notice that i cant connect to .mac email either through mail so im assuming that this problem is with my computer. Finally for the heck of it i tried my running gmail through POP into both entourage/mail and and surprisingly it connected fine.
The only thing i can think of is for some reason my computer decided to block certain ports but i dont know how to check that. Otherwise im at a loss at what to do. any suggestions?
edit: i can also receive email on my palm treo using the same settings for the original POP account.
