The error number, which is incorrect, results in: 0x800CCC92 POP3 INVALID
PASSWORD - Password not valid for account.

That said, asking in the MS Outlook newsgroup, and posting the entire error
message will get you more help.

The OP's error was not the same as yours. It was: Secure(SSL): No, Server
Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92. Not just 0x800CCC92.
