Can't logon to incoming POP3: mailbox on server in use.
I have set up a new email account successfully in Outlook but I can't logon
to incoming POP3 because "mailbox on the server is in use". Does anyone know what that message means? Thank you.

What it means is that the mail server is in use. Contact your ISP for
assistance. -- Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. All unsolicited mail sent to my personal account will be deleted without reading.

Thank you. Thanks Milly, As it turns out, my ISP, Comcast does not support Outlook, only Outlook Express. I later discovered that the error message was misleading. I was using the wrong password and when I corrected it I was able to logon. Frosty

Frosty,
Comcast is telling you stories again. I have comcast and I am using Outlook 2003 without any problems whatsoever. You can call them three times and get three answers to the same question. If you want additional help, please let me know. The key is the two server names for incoming and outgoing: "pop.comcast.net" and "smtp.comcast.net".

I'm on Comcast also and I use mail.comcast.net and mail.comcast.net with no
problems. Is there a diffrence between mail.comcast.net and pop.comcast.net? Jeff "Bill" wrote in message ... Frosty, Comcast is telling you stories again.

It depends on how your local Comcast has their servers set up. Some use
pop.comcast... others use mail.comcast... -- Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact.
