Hi!
I tryed it (in fact several times) - same result.
POP server asks for name and password and fails to accept !
Which name and password should I enter for new identity? Why name and
password validation by DUN isn't enought?
There was a problem logging onto your mail server. Your Password was
rejected. Account: 'pop.compuserve.com', Server: 'pop.compuserve.com',
Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR Failed to open mailbox jcberg', Port:
110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92

When all else fails...
Your current Identity may be damaged, especially if its the default Main
Identity. Try one or more of your accounts in a new Named Identity (File
Identities Add new identity). Assuming all is well, (1) compact all
folders in the old identity, (2) import messages from the old identity into
the new one, and then (3) delete the old one (File Identities Manage
Identities).
To avoid such corruption in futu
- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local
folders created for this purpose.
- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.
- Disable Background Compacting [N/A in SP2] and frequently perform a
manual compact of all OE folders while "working offline". More at
http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm
- WinXP SP2 only: Do not attempt to close OE via Task Manager or shutdown
your machine if Automatic Compacting is taking place.
- WinXP SP2 only: If your machine is fully up-to-date at Windows Update,
installing the following patch (KB918766) will help to avoid such data loss
in the futu
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...2-98af2256ccc3
This patch will be included in the next Cumulative Update for Outlook
Express/WinXP SP2.
- Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause
corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.

Are you running Compuserve Classic on the machine in question, too? Is
the machine in question also running Win98? Is the Compuserve account
configured as a POP3 account on the second machine?
You're more than welcome to read the archived threads about this issue

I'm not certain you can access compuserve accounts via POP3:

@M Mordkovych: You say you have the account running in OE on another
machine. Is it configured for IMAP, not POP3, on that machine?

You may have a damaged identity especially if it is the default
Main
Identity. File | Identity | Add New Identity. Create a new one and
test it. If all is well, you can import your messages from the old
identity and delete it.

Hi!
Without Secure Authorization it asks for username and password
and
never
accepts them (on the second machine it's not asking, Compusevre
Logon
is
already done by DUN)

Does Compuserve require you to use Secure Password
Authentication?
Very
few
servers do.
Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Servers. Remove the check
mark, close and open OE, and try.
