Every time I try to access my email, (one of two that come into the same
mailbox), I receive a logon message asking for my user name and password
(which are already on there). When I hit OK, the box just reappears over and
over. The error message I receive is 0x800ccc90 (password rejected). I've
changed the password to no avail and read the article on how to fix this
problem, but still don't understand what to do.

Post the complete (verbatim) error message.

If the problem is not remembering your saved password:
- Go to http://support.microsoft.com/.
- Select advanced search.
- Select product: Outlook Express.
- Search on "remember password".
o Optionally add "protected storage" to the search string.

Since it appears your login credentials are getting rejected, did you
ever try using the webmail interface to your unindentified e-mail
account to ensure you are using the correct username and password to
login (and that someone hasn't usurped your account by changing them)?

I've changed the password to no avail and read the article on how to
fix this problem, but still don't understand what to do.

Since you never mentioned that article or gave a URL to it, no one can
comment on why you couldn't understand what it said.

There was a problem logging onto your mail server. Your Password was
rejected. Account: 'POP3', Server: 'mail.montanaperspectives.com', Protocol:
POP3, Server Response: '-ERR [AUTH] Invalid login', Port: 110, Secure(SSL):
No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92

Have you ever been able to access the account-in-question in Outlook Express
with your current settings?

OE Tools | Accounts | Mail | [account-in-question] | Properties | Servers |
Incoming mail server | *Log on using Secure Password Authentication* =is
this option enabled/checked? Is it supposed to be enabled/checked?

TIP: Disable email scanning by your anti-virus application. It provides no
additional protection and it may be causing your problem.
