Cant receive mail

[Guest]

I just installed the Windows Vista Beta and am enjoying it so far, aside from
the problems i had trying to get on the internet (took me two days to fix!).
well then, I had two outlook express identities on xp that used the road
runner servers (time warner). When i open windows mail, which obviously
replaced OE, I am not prompted for identities, which I now know no longer
exist. I assumed that my identities were somehow merged, which i though was
ok, i guess. I clicked the send/recieve button, and low and behold, the
login box pops up, which it never did in OE. I entered my username and
password for my main account, AND IT DOESNT WORK! the damn box keeps popping
up a up and then fails. I cant get my mail now for some reason as it cannot
access the server (error message: Account: 'pop-server.neo.rr.com', Server:
'pop-server.neo.rr.com', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR
Authentication failed', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90,
Error Number: 0x800CCC92). This occurs even though all the settings and
profiles are correct. This is a very serious issue for me, and I need help
immediatly, thanks in advance.

There are two reasons why I can't help you with what you've supplied.

You say you can send, but can't receive. Yet the error message you
included represents a failure to send.

You've censored so much information from the error message
that it is practically useless. As a minimum I would need to see the
complete server name.

Do you get this same error regardless of which recipient you send to?
What happens when you send an email to yourself?

I take it that the SMTP server in question is not your ISP's mail server.
Try substituting your ISP's SMTP server.
