I've never heard of an ISP blocking users from accessing an external POP3 mail server
(however blocking an external SMTP mail server for sending is common.)
The Invalid password error message can mean that any of the following are wrong:
- POP3 server name
- Logon Using Account Name (some require the full e-mail address user@somewhere.com,
others just want the user part)
- Logon Using Password (often case sensitive)
- Incorrect use of Secure Password Authentication (SPA) - few severs use this
- Incorrect use of SSL - few servers use this
check these in Outlook Express at Tools, Accounts, Mail, Properties, Servers (Advanced tab
for SSL). Check with your ISP for the correct values. If the values seem correct,
retype them and click APPLY. In the event that the account settings are corrupted in the
registry, it might be necessary to delete the mail account, restart OE and then set up the
account again. In some cases it might be necessary to set up a new identity in OE and
create the mail account there.
