Outlook Express problems

I have an Intel Pentium 166MHz w/MMX computer that uses Windows 98SE. I've been using Outlook Express 6.0 as my email client without any problems. But yesterday when I opened OE to read my messages I noticed a yellow triangle at the lower right of the window that read "ERROR!" Nothing else happened. What should I do? I really need my email messages. Any advice is welcomed! Thank you.

also check the server infor, if out look is set to send and receive when it start and the server info is not correct you will get that yellow icon, check with your ISP if they are having a problem
