45836 2002-04-26 23:34:00 Recently I downloaded a program called mail washer, to help combat spam for my computer. I enter all of my information correctly, such as my email account being 'pop.actrix.co.nz', however when i try to check my email, it gives me this error message.

'Could not connect to the internet of DNS failed'

i have checked all the account information, such as what my email account is.

I use outlook express as my Email reader, Windows ME, an athlon 1333, 256 mb ram.

pop3.actrix.co.nz
Try that.
