Error 5334 when sending or receiving mail

Hi,

I'm trying to set up my e-mail with Outlook Express 5 (5.0.6) but I
keep getting an error whenever I try to send or receive a message.

Error
Mail could not be sent to account "Earthlink".

Explanation
An unknown error (5334) occurred

Error 5334

Do you know what this means?

I have a PowerMac 7200 with Mac OS 8.6 and OT 2.0.3.

Thanks

I don't think that's one I've encountered of before. Is your Internet
connection otherwise OK?

The first step should always be to check that the mail account settings are
100% correct in Tools > Accounts > Mail. Some ISPs have configuration
requirements that do not match the default configuration of a Mac OE mail
account, so do double-check with Earthlink.

If you have any further details about the problem, please post them.
