Sorry to intrude - but I've been trying to troubleshoot OE6
connectivity to my wife's Verizon account and found your name and the
'Telnet' troubleshooting technique from past posts.

Here's the problem - As of a week ago - my wife has been unable to
receive - pull - her email from incoming.verizon.net.

Here's the classic error message:
Task 'incoming.verizon.net - Receiving' reported error (0x800CCC92) :
'Your e-mail server rejected your login. Verify your user name and
password in your account properties. Under Tools, click E-mail
accounts. The server responded: -ERR [AUTH] Authentication failed'

I've tried the Telnet login and I CAN"T telnet in under her account -
but I can telnet with my account...

Both Telnet _and_ MS Outlook Express allow a successful login for one
user. Both fail for another user. Can't Verizon support reset the
password on the account which fails?
