I can't get outlookexpress to accept my password why?

Which password?

Is it when you try to open Outlook Express. IF you can't get to view
any of your OE folders, then it's the optional identity password.

If the problem is sending or receiving mail, then it's the mail server
password.

The Invalid password error message can mean that any of the following
are wrong:
- POP3 server name
- Incoming Mail Server Account Name (some require the full e-mail
address user@somewhere.com, others just want the user part)
- Incoming Mail Server Password (often case sensitive)
- Incorrect use of Secure Password Authentication (SPA) - few severs
use this
- Incorrect use of SSL - few servers use this
- The mail server is having temporary problems
Check these settings in Outlook Express at Tools, Accounts, Mail,
Properties, Servers (Advanced tab for SSL). Check with your mail
service (generally your ISP) for the correct values. If the values seem
correct, retype them and click APPLY. In the event that the account
settings are corrupted in the registry, it might be necessary to delete
the mail account, restart OE and then set up the account again. In some
cases it might be necessary to set up a new identity in OE and create
the mail account there.

Michael - are you really answering a very old question from
15 January 2004
or is there something wrong with the OP's time/date etc?

If you have a rule to mark messages as read after so many days a new message
wrongly dated could be marked as read.

I figured that was the case here Frank as I had a good clearout today
with my rules. But thought the OP needed sorta telling about his date.

I presume it is a new message. I don't normally pay much attention to
the posting date, since I sort messages by subject.

I see that he has a up-to-date version of OE (6.00.2900.2670), so I
would guess his PC date is wrong.
