Thanks it worked.
I uninstalled and reinstalled Office 2010, then
-Outlook / File / Email-Accounts /New
-Then I selected “Manual configure server settings” not default “Email account”
and it worked using POP3.
I also googled and found out how to export/import Address Book.


Many thanks again.

Sorry, but 2 new problems...
When I run outlook now, only 1 Reminder of 12 saved reminders appears... but new reminders come through.
-I googled and found "outlook.exe /cleanreminders" but that did not work
-I tried Repair Office 2010, but "error 1303. setup cannot access the folder c:\program files..."
-I googled and found a MS recommendation, something to do with subinasl.exe.
-When I try to run Office Repair, no error message now, but nothing happens at all.
ie no repair done, just back to Control Panel screen.
So 2 problems ie only 1 saved reminder in Outlook, and Office Repair doesn't do anything.
Any suggestions?

btw, I tried uninstall/install Office and it didn't help. I can elaborate if you wish.
