password page and when i do so this is what comes up!
'log onto incoming mail server [pop3] outlook could not connect to the
incoming server pop3 mail server because the server did not accept
username or password'???


Well there are two reasons for this. Either your usename and/or password
*are* incorrect, (Case? caps lock?) or, the mail server is down. To check
the latter, go to the servive status page of your ISP. To check the former,
does your ISP have web access to mail ? (Many do these days). If so, go to
that page and try to log on to your mail account there. If that works, then
the username and/or password you have entered into Outlook are definitely
wrong.
