Intermittent errors are almost always on the server.

That said, you are using out-of-date settings. It's been well over a
year ago that AT&T asked their customers, including legacy Prodigy
users, to update the server names, ports, etc.

See: http://www.att.com/esupport/article....573&ct=9000254

Incoming: pop.att.yahoo.com Port: 995 SSL
Outgoing: smtp.att.yahoo.com Port: 465 SSL
Outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication

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.

Vince
