Try creating a new identity, switch to it and set up your mail account in
the new identity and test it. If all works well, import your mail messages
from the older identity and then delete it. This can happen if the entries
in the registry become corrupted and is most likely to happen if you've been
using the default "Main Identity" created when you first set up Outlook
Express. Post back if no help.

Been using IE6 & OE seems like forever. All of a sudden an OE window
askes me to Login - window has correct user name and I've re-entered my
password. Not accepted. I have Verizon DSL and after a looong session
they suggested that I delete and re-install IE6 and OE. Not sure they
know what they are talking about. I have a restore disk for my 4 year old
XP eMachine but I'm not sure how to use it all. Is there any other way to
fix OE?
