help!

[Guest]

I just installed the Windows Vista Beta and am enjoying it so far, aside from
the problems i had trying to get on the internet (took me two days to fix!).
well then, I had two outlook express identities on xp that used the road
runner servers (time warner). When i open windows mail, which obviously
replaced OE, I am not prompted for identities, which I now know no longer
exist. I assumed that my identities were somehow merged, which i though was
ok, i guess. I clicked the send/recieve button, and low and behold, the
login box pops up, which it never did in OE. I entered my username and
password for my main account, AND IT DOESNT WORK! the damn box keeps popping
up a up and then fails. I cant get my mail now for some reason as it cannot
access the server (error message: Account: 'pop-server.neo.rr.com', Server:
'pop-server.neo.rr.com', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR
Authentication failed', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90,
Error Number: 0x800CCC92). This occurs even though all the settings and
profiles are correct. This is a very serious issue for me, and I need help
immediatly, thanks in advance.

Try removing the Mail account, and then close WinMail and then open it again
and add the account back again. See if that fixes the problem.

Do not install a beta on a production machine and depend on things to work
properly all the time and not to fail. Keep backups.

The messages can be imported from the older identities by going to File |
Import | Messages. To find the locations of the message store for the older
identities, see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4
