I have no idea what to do. I have even tried recovering my whole system's
data(which worked for a few hours) It shows a password in the box, but will
not accept it. I have tried retyping it. Deleting user. Nothing seems to
work. Thanks for any help??

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

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?

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:

OK, well I went into tools/account and deleted all 3 accounts. Then I got out
went to desktop then back in. Went back into tools/account and created a new
one. I used a different password and still the same problem?? No luck. Did
not work?? I am at a loss.

You have to use the password that you and the operator of the email server
have agreed upon. You can not arbitrarily change a password without their
cooperation.

Answer in newsgroup. Don't send mail.

I am not sure what is going on now. It seems to be working, downloads took
a little time. I got a few errors, but just got out of OE then back in. Seems
to be working so far????

The problem may not have been on your PC or Outlook Express. The slow
download is an indication the issue was not local. Sometimes it's hard to
tell without using another PC to verify a connection problem. Often it's
best to calm oneself when facing such a problem. I know from experience that
panic can set in. A key question is what may have happened to cause an
issue, such as a crash or power failure. If nothing comes to mind there is a
good chance the problem lies elsewhere.
