Sorry to piggy back on this thread but I get the same message but on only one
of my three identities; the other two work just fine. I've tried deleting
the offending identity and recreating it using a different identity name but
without any luck. Would I need to start from scratch with my accounts?

There was a problem logging onto your mail server. Your Password was
rejected. Account: 'mail.clearwire.net', Server: 'mail.clearwire.net',
Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR Invalid password or username', Port:
110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92


Under Tools|Accounts, remove the mail account. Close OE, log off and log back
on again. Open OE and create the account again.

OE stores usernames and passwords in Window's Protected Storage Service (also
called pstore). If the entry in the pstore part of the registry is incorrect,
the best way to fix it is simply to delete the account, log off and back on so
that the registry is guaranteed to be updated, and the create the account from
scratch.

I'm sorry, I don't mean to sound obtuse but when you state to delete the
account are you referring to the primary account or just the one associated
with that particular identity? You also stated that the WPSS is locatetd in
the registry; as I'm not opposed to tweaking the registry a smidge where
might it be found?

I mean the mail or news account that is not working properly, shown under
Tools|Accounts. If it continues to fail after recreating the account, then it
is time to try a new Identity (on the File menu).

Passwords are *encoded* in the registry. It's not something that you can tweak
manually. You can view protected storage entries using something like this:
