Can't connect to server for email.

[Guest]

I've been trying to fix email: i get the message below. I've checked the
server and everything I can think of. Any clues?

"Unable to logon to the server using Secure Password Authentication.
Account: 'pop-server.wi.rr.com', Server: 'POP-server.wi.rr.com', Protocol:
POP3, Server Response: '-ERR invalid command', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No,
Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC18"

thanks

Have you tried unticking

"Log on using Secure Password Authentication"

Assuming you're using Outlook Express
Tools
Accounts...
Mail tab
open the properties for the errant mail account
Servers tab
