Suddenly my e-mail "outlook Express" & "Incredimail" are not working due to an error in authorization with the POP3! :o :o
BT Broadband, for once, cannot help me as the e-mails are getting through to my BT Yahoo page, and they suggest I should speak to Microsoft (how?!) as they reckon "Outlook Express" is corrupted!
It might as well be in a foreign language to me, but has anyone any ideas on what to do please to correct this problem that has kept me busy for the last two hours!! >:( >:( >:(.

It could be your mail servers are experiencing problems. I have a Yahoo POP3 account and get the same message when the servers seem to be having problems. See if it rectifies itself.

Lizzie - Describe exactly what happens when you open Outlook and what you can see.

probably problems are from the mail server similiarly what I have in job..so before messing up with your parameters be sure for that..
-
does your pop3 server need tls or similar encryption?

It throws up a box asking me for a user name and password that the server requires.
But it does not accept these details when I enter them! :o :o
An error box reads:
There was a problem logging onto your mail server. Your Password was rejected. Account: 'mail.btinternet.com', Server: 'mail.btinternet.com', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR [AUTH] Error logging in. Please visit http://mail.yahoo.com', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92
This is also the case with my Incredimail. >:(

are you using port 110 or something else?

No TB, and please note the error message of:

sorry couldnt help more, but for remote logon I'm also desperate :-/

This is one of the reasons I run my own mail server...does mean I have to fix any problems but at least I can track down where it is going wrong
-
Lizzie - telnet to the name of your mail server on port 110, eg, from command prompt:
telnet mail.omegaowners.com 110
then type user followed by your username, then pass followed by password. Should get a non ERR prompt
See my transcript in next post
-
Lizzie - see below, change highlighted bits to match yours...
c:\>telnet mail.omegaowners.com 110
+OK Hello there.
user ******@omegaowners.com
+OK Password required.
pass yourpassword
+OK logged in.
stat
+OK 6 18142
That shows I have 6 unread messages, totally 18k
type
top 1 100 to read first 100 lines of 1st message.
If that works, your mail server is fine, issue with your client config.

Oh, and type quit to close the pop3 session
