mail login prompt

[Guest]

Hi Group,
I have a problem logging in to send or get my mail. I’ve entered my account
settings exactly matching my existing PC. When I try to log in to my server
(cox) to send or get my mail, A “windows security†dialog box pops up calling
for “logon to pop.west.cox.netâ€. “Please verify that both the username and
password are correct for your mail server†My user and password have been
the same for years and I know them well. It will not accept them and prompts
me over and over. Any help solving this would be appreciated.
