Vista Mail problems

[Guest]

I've just set up windows mail in vista home premium with all my correct
details from TalkTalk with my username (not my e-mail address) and password

Each time i try to send/receive i get the error: Account:
'mail.talktalk.net', Server: 'mail.talktalk.net', Protocol: POP3, Server
Response: '-ERR Login failed.', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error:
0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92


so obviously i can't send/receive, is this a problem with windows mail or
from talk talk?

According to......
http://www.talktalk.co.uk/talktalk/...ct=BROADBAND&catSelect=E-mail&showFAQ=PCOUTEX

you need to enter your full email address as your account username

obviously you did not use your correct information.

you may SAY that you did, but computers don't lie, and that computer is
telling you that the WRONG info was entered.

FOr anyone following the thread, this works for several other mail providers
as well...

Instead of experimenting, it is always best to follow the published
directions provided on the ISP's website.
