For the love of God please help!

Ok I've set up my email account all fine and good. It all works, well sorta.
Ok I can send messages for definate. The thing is I can't recieve messages.
It keeps asking for my Username and Password. I have entered all my personal
information as the same just for easiness, all my passwords are the same, all
my usernames are the same, but it won't accept it. My POP3 and SMTP are
correct, everything! Why won't it work? Please help....

Have you tried changing in account properties the choices regards server
authentication?

We have no way of looking over your shoulder to see if
you are entering the username correctly. Some ISPs
want you to enter only the username, others want you
to enter your entire email address in that field. Check
with your ISP, or go to their website help pages, or tell
us who your ISP is, and we may be able to help.

try setting up a new (identical account) and delete the original account.
this worked for me recently.
