That way you should be able to use any Email address that you register with. Just a suggestion. Your call.
Not ideal, but better than relying on Sky to provide email. Who wants a @sky.com email addy anyway? I don't. Especially if I later decide to move.~ Never, ever, argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience ~

Not seen that one before! Do you have another email account anywhere that you can set up to test whether it is a setup problem with your Outlook Express?
Ideally it needs to be one using port 995 for POP so it might be an idea to open another account with Gmail and see if that works with your OE.
If it is your OE at fault I would suspect the only option is a reinstall!

Another thing to try, turn any software firewalls off briefly?

Re: POP3 error message from outlook
Make sure that you have checked Log in using secure password, it is something like that, usually this works.
