Unable to do so get ERR message: " Account: 'mail.bellsouth.net',
Server: 'mail.bellsouth.net', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR [AUTH]
invalid user/password', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90,
Error Number: 0x800CCC92.
Have input my info into the setting up account section, without
luck.
Recently resolved a 2wire modem problem where the modem was
changing my username/password.
 
First, test your password by logging in to your provider's webmail.
If that works, it proves you have the correct username and password.
A likely reason for the username/password failing in Windows Mail is
account corruption. One thing you should try as a possible quick fix is
to delete that corrupted mail account, restart Windows Mail, then
recreate that account.

If that doesn't fix it, more drastic measures will have to be taken.
Which antivirus are you running?
As a minimum, email scanning in the antivirus must be turned off,
although that may not be sufficient to eliminate all bad effects.
In a worst case scenario, your antivirus may need to be uninstalled.
