Email problem

I cannot access my emails through my email client "Thunderbird" I am told "Socket error # 10054 connection reset by peer" what is this and more importantly how do I fix it. This has all come about whilst I have been trying to remove an irritating Trojan using various scanners.

    Try accessing your e-mail account using the web interface, to see if there is any problem on your mail server etc.

    I would create a new account with a different name from scratch and see if that works correctly.
