Chances are that Log on using "Secure Password Authentication" should not be
enabled but that SSL Authentication should be. Check with your IT
department.

Otherwise...

Your current Identity may be damaged, especially if its the default Main
Identity. Try the account-in-question in a new Named Identity...

File | Identities | Add new identity

Assuming all is well, (1) compact all folders in the old identity, (2)
import messages & saved IAF file(s) from the old identity into the new one,
and then (3) delete the old one (File | Identities | Manage Identities).

To avoid such corruption in futu

- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local
folders created for this purpose.

- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.

- Frequently perform a manual compact of all OE folders while "working
offline". More at http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm

- Do not cancel Automatic Compacting, should it occur, and do not attempt to
close OE via Task Manager or shutdown your machine if Automatic Compacting
is taking place.

- Disable email scanning by your anti-virus application. It can cause
corruption (i.e., loss of messages) and provides no additional protection:

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.
