| | user name and password I am trying to set up my roadrunner account in windows mail. there is no error message. when I try to send/recieve mail a box pops up. on the top say windows security and says logging on to pop3-server.roadrunner.com and to verify the user name and password. I type it in exactly how it is on the printout I got from the cable company and the box goes away for a second and comes back. doesnt say that it is incorrect or anything the same box just keeps coming back. I have also tried useing the username and password that I use to log onto my computer. any ideas? |

Did you try your username with no CAPITAL LETTERS? Email servers are sometimes picky about which they will accept. |

| | Re: user name and password The POP3 server name is pop-server.roadrunner.com (not pop3-server) For the username, only use the part in front of "@roadrunner.com" Use the password associated with the email account click the button for "Log on using clear text authentication" -- http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview "Denise Martell" <denisemartell6@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:Oj#YCynUIHA.4532@xxxxxx Quote: > I am trying to set up my roadrunner account in windows mail. > there is no error message. when I try to send/recieve mail a box pops up. > on the top say windows security and says logging on to > pop3-server.roadrunner.com and to verify the user name and password.

Have you tried the username both with and without the part of your email address starting with @? Did you try entering your password with CAPITAL and lower case letters where they recommend? If your password has any CAPITAL LETTERS, have you tried changing it so it doesn't, and then changing the setup to match? Have you tried waiting about 5 minutes after your last try was rejected, in case Roadrunner thinks someone is trying to guess your password and has temporarily disabled logins? |
