Incoming Mail Server Error Message

G

Guest

I have set up two email accounts using outlook 2002. I
can send from either account by using the account drop
down that shows with a new message I'm writing. But I can
only receive from one.

When i test the account settings I receive an error message that states
"can't log onto incoming mail server"

When I hit send/receive my other account works fine and i'm able to send
email from the account that won't bring in email messages. I get an error
message for my comcast account "0x800CCC92" status: BAD PASSWORD. I have
repeatedly verified that my password is correct in the setup.

Any ideas?

It may be that your username is wrong - most POP servers return "bad
password" regardless of whether it's the username or password that's wrong.
Try a username that's your email address, and if that doesn't work try one
that's everything to the left of the '@'.
