First, test your password by logging in to your mail provider's webmail.
If that works, it proves you have the correct username and password. A likely reason for the username/password failing is account corruption. One thing you should try as a possible quick fix is to delete that corrupted mail account, restart Windows Mail, then recreate that account. If that doesn't fix it, more drastic measures will have to be taken. Which antivirus are you running? As a minimum, email scanning in the antivirus must be turned off, although that may not be sufficient to eliminate all bad effects. In a worst case scenario, your antivirus may need to be uninstalled. If turning off the email scanning function does not resolve your problem, consider upgrading to Windows Live Mail, because it is less prone to suffering bad effects from overly aggressive antivirus programs. http://download.live.com/wlmail Email scanning in any antivirus must be disabled, for reasons explained he http://thundercloud.net/infoave/tuto...ning/index.htm -- Gary VanderMolen, Microsoft MVP (Mail) Microsoft MVP Program: http://mvp.support.microsoft.com "jame" wrote in message ...

How do you know you have "exactly the same message" - rh4487 didn't mention
who their ISP is . . . . . Tell us who your email provider is - the part after the @ symbol - and maybe we can help you locate the correct settings. "jame" wrote in message ...
