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
 - The mail server is having temporary problems
Check these settings 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.
