Re: Postoffice won't recognise new user

You may be at the end of your rope here. I don't know any way to hack the WGPO password. The last resort solution might be to create a new postoffice and all new users. Have existing users make sure they collect all their mail first, since you can only connect to one postoffice per profile.
