Default Periodic failure of OE6 to function

Re this part of the error: '-ERR [AUTH] invalid user/password'.

This happens, clears up for awhile, then happens again? I would first
remove the account, reboot and then add it back. If that doesn't resolve
it, call your ISP and have them reset your OE password with a new one.
They can become corrupt.

A recurring problem I'm having is the failutre of OE6 to open and display
e-mail messages online. I'm using and HP MCE 2005 (with Rollup 2), IE7,
a
wireless router and Cable modem service and ATT Yahoo (prodigy) ISP.
The
accts names and server names are correct and the same is entry screen as
well
as in Tools/options/mail/servers etc. Cable service is working fine and
internet is available, but periodically, clicking OE6 does not open and
gives
the following:

"There was a problem logging onto your mail server. Your Password was
rejected. Account: 'pop.prodigy.yahoo.com', Server:
'pop.prodigy.yahoo.com',
Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR [AUTH] invalid user/password',
Port:
110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number:
0x800CCC92"

Password is correct;has been verified several times.
I'd appreciate any ideas.
