Vista - Problem using Windows Live Mail with Sympatico account

I am not having any problems retrieving my Hotmail messages using Windows
Live Mail, but for some reasom, I cannot retrieve or send any messages using
my Sympatico account. I have checked the Sympatico site repeatedly to
re-configure the properties of my email account on Live Mail but to no avail.
Any suggestions?

Eric

Unable to send or receive messages for the Sympatico (XXX_XXX) account. An
incorrect password was entered. The next time you send or receive messages,
you'll be asked to enter your user name and password for this account.

Server Error: 0x800CCC90
Server Response: -ERR authentication failed

Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC92

I have confirmed that I am entering the correct password as I use the same
password when retrieving emails via Sympatico's own portal email server.
Thanks.

Most of your settings seem correct.

A few additional things to check:

- Incoming Mail Server E-mail User Name (some require the full e-mail
address user@xxxxxx, others just want the user part)
- Incoming Mail Server Password (often case sensitive)
- Incorrect use of Secure Password Authentication (SPA) or APOP - few
severs use this
- Anti-Virus scanning e-mail or anti-spam program interfering with the
mail server logon
Check these settings in Windows Live Mail at Tools, Accounts, Mail,
Properties, Servers. If the values seem correct, retype them and click
APPLY.

Using the full email username(eg..username@xxxxxx) or just username?
