Outlook Express
When I click on send/receive nothing happens unless I have something in my Outbox. It sends that item OK but does not 'look for' incoming items. Help please! |

What happens when you just do a receive? Click on the Details tab on that
screen and it should indicate what the issue is. You can also create a log file under Tools | Options | Maintenance to help troubleshoot the issue. steve "Lofty." wrote in message ...

Thank you Mike, I am now seeing the 'scanning for inward' coming up, but
that has resulted in the dialogue box requesting that I insert user name and password (repeatedly). I have tried re-inserting this information, to no avail. Just below your post in this group I see a thread from Steve T titled "Keeps asking for password" in which the solution requires entering the registry (ominous) Steve did it but he may be more knowledgeable than I.

Whether or not you need to edit the registry depends on the exact cause
of the prompts. It might be something simpler. The Invalid password error message can mean that any of the following are wrong: - POP3 server name - Incoming Mail Server Account Name (some require the full e-mail address , others just want the user part) - Incoming Mail Server Password (often case sensitive) - Incorrect use of Secure Password Authentication (SPA) - few severs use this - Incorrect use of SSL - few servers use this, but it's becoming more common - The mail server is having temporary problems - Anti-Virus scanning e-mail or anti-spam program interfering with the mail server logon Check these settings in Outlook Express at Tools, Accounts, Mail, Properties, Servers (Advanced tab for SSL). Check with your mail service (generally your ISP) for the correct values. If the values seem correct, retype them and click APPLY. In the event that the account settings are corrupted in the registry, it might be necessary to delete the mail account, restart OE and then set up the account again. In some cases it might be necessary to set up a new identity in OE and create the mail account there.

Michael, Thank you, thank you, thank you, for a solution and saving
my sanity. I had followed the tools accounts mail properties and checked that all was OK (many times), but re-inputing everything (exactly as before) did the trick. I am relived not to have to mess with the Registry. Regards, Lofty "Michael Santovec" wrote in message ... Whether or not you need to edit the registry depends on the exact cause of the prompts.
