First, upgrade... current version is 2.0.9... it is silly to start off
crippled by running an old/buggy/beta version...

No one but Microsoft can guess what that error message might mean.
Especially since Google only finds your mail with that.

I guess you have to know how to Google. :)

MEANING:

	0x800CCCD9 IMAP_CONNECTION_REFUSED Connection not allowed.

That, plus other useful codes can be found at this URL:

	http://www.xcontact.ro/outlook-express-error-codes-39.html

I leave it as an exercise for the end user to correct the problem,
unless they would be kind enough to post the output of "dovecot -n"
along with their system OS type, version, etc (both systems). I would
advise the user to pay particular attention to their AV software and
firewall settings. the problem has an uncanny habit of originating
there.
