Outlook Mail 2002 - Several accounts now rendering error

Over the past few days, accounts that were working correctly now show the following error:

Task 'incoming.verizon.net - Sending and Receiving' reported error (0x800CCC0F) : 'The connection to the server was interrupted. If this problem continues, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'

on several email accounts within Outlook although I can use web sites to access the mail for those accounts fine.

Anybody know what is wrong or how I can fix? Please advise.

Thanks.

I have the same problem, and received exactly the same error msg. I reinstalled Outlook, thinking perhaps that something became corrupted; didn't work, getting same error msg: "The TCP/IP connection was unexpectedly terminated by the server. (Account: 'comcast', POP3 Server: 'mail.comcast.net', Error Number: 0x800ccc0f)." Would appreciate hearing how someone solved this one. Thanks.
