Hello, I had a problem with my pc. Called for help which took a 2
hour phone call to India. After my problem was solved another
arose. When checking my email I receive a "login failure."

This is unlikely to be a Windows problem.

Everything I read on the web suggests it's firewall security
issue.

I usually find that this is a problem between the account credentials and
the mail server.


In the mean time I'm receiving no email. Can anyone help me
fix this? Thanks kindly.

'login failure'?

Have you checked with your ISP/email provider and verified your email
username/password/configuration of whatever application you are utilizing
as
an email client?

Yes. Both are correct.

Yet they produce a login failure.

Verify both with the web mail client. What *is* the mail client?
Usually, there will be some way to read the specific error messages, and
they are needed. If you want to verify that it isn't Windows, try that
account info on another system.

You may find that it's necessary to change your mail password at the ISP,
and then upate it at the mail client.
