Outlook 2010 Unable to send or receive

Asked By risal 0 points N/A Posted on - 03/23/2012

I just installed Windows 8 Consumer Preview. After the installation, I cannot send or receive any mails in Outlook 2010. I always get an error:

 

Task 'Steve – Receiving' reported error (0x80042108) : 'Outlook cannot connect to your incoming (POP3) e-mail server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'

I can use my Outlook without any issues before the installation. I tried everything but it still receiving error. Any thoughts or ideas to this issue is appreciated.
