I'm a little out of my element here, discussing mail server settings, but I
encountered the same error message here at work when grabbing email with my
PDA. I informed our server manager and he enabled MAPI mail on the Exchange
server and the problem was solved. Wish I could give more detail but, as I
said, mail servers are not my forté.

This may not apply to your situation, but perhpas it's something to
investigate.
