Post the complete error message, and tell us if this account has ever worked
in OE.

That error usually indicates problems on the POP3 server, not in OE. Such
problems usually clear up automagically in a few hours or days.

The Account's name is incorrect. See the instructions here:
http://www.btopenworld.com/faqs/manual_email_setup#pc

If your email address is, e.g., normski(a)btinternet.com, the Account name in
Step #6 would be "normski" (w/out the quotes). You currently have
"mail.btinternet.com(1)" entered there.
