login rejected

I can't send/receive email; everytime I turn around I get asked for my
Internet password. The error msg reads: Task 'pop.earthlink.net - Receiving'
reported error (0x800CCC92): 'Your e-mail server rejected your login. Verify
your user name and password in your account properties. Under Tools, click
E-mail accounts. The server responded: -ERR syntax error'

HI,
first be sure that you account settings are correct.
have you tried to disable you virus software?
Do you use a firewall? If so please configure you firewall that the ports
for outlook are open!
