I have a load of valid mail sitting in my Spamcop mailbox since about 10am UK time today which is not coming down to my local Outlook mailbox, Outlook is timing out - is something broken?

Not broken from what I can see. I'm able to POP and also use IMAP and webmail successfully.

Likewise, I've had no trouble from the UK all day today. Do you have a firewall intercepting your Email or a proxy such as Norton Antivirus between you and the mailbox?

Very odd. As nobody else seemed to be having problems I closed Outlook and restarted it, now, it's receiving messages from Spamcop OK (1 of 35... 2 of 35....) looks like it will be a late finish today! Haven't a clue what happened there. All other Outlook send and receives were working fine. Strange one, but seems sorted now.
