Your Outlook Express is misbehaving --Don't Panic

You might have noticed that your Outlook Express does not behave as it used to in the recent past. You get messages such as this one,



Then you try to diagnose and try to run ipconfig from your command prompt and then you see something you had not seen in the past. You see a new interface such as this one:
Tunnel adapter Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface:

What the heck is this?

This is required when the full iPv6 comes into existence. It probably came with the Window's update. I run Windows XP with SP2. When this [Tunnel adapter Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface:] is seen your test for ipconfig /all shows this (some of the addresses have been tampered in the pasted result):
