Hi there this is a real puzzler, i have been to the knowledge base and so
many forums inc this.
i have outlook 2003. its never worked.
i have recently installed it.
it connects on a send. but does not receive. it says could not connect to
incomming pop3 mail server because the server did not accept your password
authentications.
ive tried to delete the registery thingy which it sugests in the knowledge
base in microsoft but i cant delete the subkey. ive uninstalled and installed
it a few times.
and changed the settings in the out incoming servers.
neither can it save a password.
the isp i am connecting to is yahoo and there are no large files on there.
there is no problem in sending an email as i have so many on the tests. just
non on the receive.
will give a basket of roses. if anyone figures it out. thanks

What port on the POP server are you using?
