This could be just a problem with timeout (your ISP is overloaded and your
local mail program times out before a connection can be made.

Assuming that you are using OE, you can increase the timeout period by
increasing the Server Timeout in Tools, Accounts, Mail, Properties,
Advanced. This may help.

Also it could be a problem with a corrupted OE configuration.  See the
following link for a method to backup and recreate your account in OE.
