Outlook 2003 won't receive from earthlink

[Bruce]

When I set up outlook 2003 with my earthlink account, the
connections all tested fine. But when I click send and
receive, it prompts for my network password, which I
enter, and then I get the following error message and no
messages are received:


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'

Sent messages go out fine. Any ideas what is causing the
error message?

Also, OE works fine with the same password.
