The Invalid password error message can mean that any of the following are
wrong:
- POP3 server name
- Logon Using Account Name
- Logon Using Password (often case sensitive)
- Incorrect use of Secure Password Authentication (SPA) - few severs use
this
- Incorrect use of SSL - few servers use this
Check these in Outlook Express at Tools|Accounts|Mail|Properties|Servers
(Advanced tab for SSL). Check with your ISP for the correct values. If
the values seem correct, retype them and click APPLY. In the event that the
account settings are corrupted in the registry, it might be necessary to
delete the mail account, restart OE and then set up the account again.
