Yes I've accessed the account in question with my current settings. I've
re-entered all of the info, entered a new password, shut down OE, and started
it up again, but I keep getting the same error message.

Thanks, Ber

my anti-virus and don't see that it's even scanning my email. I'll
contact
them and check to be sure.

Have you ever been able to access the account-in-question in Outlook
Express with your current settings?

OE Tools | Accounts | Mail | [account-in-question] | Properties | Servers
|
Incoming mail server | *Log on using Secure Password Authentication* =is
this option enabled/checked? Is it supposed to be enabled/checked?

TIP: Disable email scanning by your anti-virus application. It provides
no
additional protection and it may be causing your problem.

I've changed the password to no avail and read the article on how to
fix
this problem, but still don't understand what to do.
