Hi Group,
I have a problem logging in to send or get my mail. I’ve entered my account settings exactly matching my existing PC. When I try to log in to my server (cox) to send or get my mail, A “windows security” dialog box pops up calling for “logon to pop.west.cox.net”. “Please verify that both the username and password are correct for your mail server” My user and password have been the same for years and I know them well. It will not accept them and prompts me over and over. Any help solving this would be appreciated. Bob Hansen |
