What kind of email? You might have incorrect POP server settings. Ask your
ISP for the correct server settings. Also go to Tools>Accts>properties of
your acct>Server tab: make sure you did NOT check Log on using SPA and do NOT
check My server requires authentication.

Is this a password for your OE *identity*, or for your mail server? More
likely the latter - verify that your mail account settings are correct (may
need to call your ISP for the correct settings; perhaps you need to
authenticate to the SMTP server).

Note - this is a Windows XP newsgroup. Best to ask OE questions in the OE
groups (not Outlook);

microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x

Dave whomever provide you with internet is where you
should get your answer ... But whenever creating a new
mail account you always need to set up a user name and
password , it just happen this time to pop up asking you
for this , its probably your ISP ( internet provider )
server having problems , check with them , give them a
call ... Or you can try adding your user name and
password and see if that works , If you don't know your
user name and password your ISP provider should , Call
them up and ask them what it is , also ask them if they
are having problems with there email server
