Beantrader,
May I ask what ISP you use. Normally when you receive a dialogue box asking for username and password, the server did not recognize or was not sent the proper information.
I would like you to check OE/Tools/Accounts/Properties/Servers and let me know what is in the boxes marked IncomingPOP and OutgoingSMTP servers.
Also, the Incoming Mail Server Account name. DO NOT USE THE ACTUAL USERNAME. I only want to see the format.
Is the box under Outgoing Mail Server checked "My server requires authentication?
Do the same for the Outgoing Mail Server Account name which you will find by clicking on Settings at the bottom.
Neither box "Use secure server password" should be checked.
Thanks,
Techie
