This happens with Outlook Express when it (or the PC) crashes whilst sending mail. It has left a connection to the server open. The server won't set up a connection as it thinks you are already connected. (The same can happen when you are trying to check for mail.)
For once it's not an NTL problem (although I don't understand why they don't just time out "stale" connections). If you reboot the PC I'll bet it works again. This is one of the most frequent issues people have with Outlook Express.
