Windows mail won't send--plus forced to enter a user name/password

[B Betz]

I seem to be having the same problem that many others are having. This is
the error that I now get when I enter what I believe to be the correct user
name and password

Account: 'pop3.frontiernet.net', Server: 'pop3.frontiernet.net', Protocol:
POP3, Server Response: '-ERR invalid command', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No,
Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC91

I've never had to enter this for our windows mail. It just started today
and because of this, I'm not receiving mail or able to send mail. It was
wording up until at least 7:30 last night.

Go to Tools, Accounts, select that mail account, Properties, Servers.
Make sure that "Log on using Secure Password Authentication" is not enabled.

A "me too" statement won't help us diagnose what your exact problem is.
Do you get an error message when you try to send or receive? If so,
right-click on your error message, copy, then paste it into a reply here.
We can't do much troubleshooting without the complete error message.
