pop server

[copesindians]

when I open windows mail, I get this response: Account: 'mail.comcast.net',
Server: 'mail.comcast.net', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR invalid
username/password', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90,
Error Number: 0x800CCC92. When I log in to comcast.net, my email opens
correctly. I have verified correct info with my ISP. Any help would be
appreciated.

1. Confirm that your account is configured *exactly* per this page:

NB: Outgoing (SMTP) mail Port should be 587, not 25!

2. Disable email scanning by your anti-virus application. It provides no
additional protection, it may be causing the problem, and even Symantec says
it's not necessary:

<QP>
Disabling Email Scanning does not leave you unprotected against viruses that
are distributed as email attachments. Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect scans
incoming files as they are saved to your hard drive, including email and
email attachments. Email Scanning is just another layer on top of this. To
make sure that Auto-Protect is providing the maximum protection, keep
Auto-Protect enabled and run LiveUpdate regularly to ensure that you have
the most recent virus definitions.
