receiving e-mail

[Kristi Blair]

I can sent e-mail but it won't receive them. It says Account: 'home mail',
Server: 'pop.east.cox.net', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR An
authentication mechanism MUST be entered', Port: 995, Secure(SSL): Yes,
Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC18

help!

I don't think Cox supports advanced port settings or SSL.
Go to Tools, Accounts, select that account, Properties, Advanced,
then uncheck the SSL option., and change port 995 to port 110.

According to this,

you don't use SSL with incoming mail.
