Now, this has sort of happened before, but only when my ISP

when they fixed it, I was able to use CE again. I know my

able to check and send email from webmailer. This business
with CE not working but being able to use the webmailer has
been going on since yesterday.
Actually, the fact that webmail works is almost meaningless to say
the mail server is working correctly. Webmail systems usually use an
entirely different interface to the mail server.
Try two things, 1: ping the mail server (both pop or "incoming" and
smtp) and see if they respond. If they do, 2: telnet to the mail
server and see if it connects.
If you have questions on how to do either, let me know what the pop
(incoming) and smtp addresses are for the server and I can try doing
both from here.
And as Marc already recommended, try sending and receiving separately
so you can isolate if both are down, or just one. Also, do a full
reboot of your computer, and verify if other Classic apps can get to
the internet (is Emailer able to check mail from some other ISP, or
try a web browser in Classic and see if you can get to a web page).
