Question Outlook Express errors

I recently installed an external modem on my in-laws ancient 486DX running on W95. Installed IE5 and am able to access the net with no problems at all (somewhat quicker than I thought it might be). However, we can't get outlook express to work at all. On my own computer I use 2 different ISP's, so we tried a couple of different accounts and still kept getting the same error message when trying to send/receive, namely to check the POP3, SMTP and server port numbers were correct . This we checked and re-checked. I then used DUN to set up an account manually without the ISP's software on CD; same result. Tried uninstalling/reinstalling outlook express 5 - no change. I thought about using another email programme, but outlook express is what she uses at work. Is it Outlook express causing the problem or something else ? We're stumped, can anyone help, or know of any sites where help can be obtained. Helppppppppp
