Receiving Mail Problem

[BRIAN]

I have been using windows mail for some time now with no problems until now.
When I open up it checks for mail and I now get a pop up box from windows
security saying "please verify that both the username and password are
correct for your mail server" Everything I try doesnt work but I can access
via web mail. This seeme to have happened after a recent auto update. If I
cancel I get the following error message
" Account: 'inmail.f2s.com', Server: 'inmail.f2s.com', Protocol: POP3,
Server Response: '-ERR Could not determine server', Port: 110, Secure(SSL):
No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92"
Can anyone help please?

Make sure your account in Windows Mail set up per these instructions:

Notice the tricky part about replacing all symbols with dashes. ie:
(e-mail address removed) would become youremail-f2s-com.

If all that checks out, which antivirus are you running? Some of them
are not fully compatible with Windows Mail.
