I had the same issue. It depends on what isp you are using.Tell me which one.
You can also go to the search and get the correct settings. I cannot send
emails with Vista. Keep getting a message that says there is a "messenging
interface error". Any thoughts

I am running outlook 2003 on Vista business ed. After setting up my email
account and test the settings, I cannot log into the pop3 server to retrieve
my email. All settings (usernam/passwords/server addresses) have been
checked and triple checked. When I try to test the settings, all items are
successful except log into pop3 server. I will prompt me for my password,
which I type in again, but it fails. There are no errors on the mail server
and I am able to log into my web portal just fine.
