Try deleting the Account and rebuilding it from scratch?
Restart your PC after deleting the account.

Remember all your settings for it, or use the link to Suddenlink.
HTH?

I am baring with you :-)

You need to remove all traces of Norton and McAfee from your machine.

Having either of those AV programs installed causes all manner of problems
with WM, having them BOTH ---WOW!!

Re: Cannot Download mail from my pop3 account to Windows mail

Looks like it's saying a username is missing in one of the places it needs
one. Are you, for example, sending mail with all the addresses on the
Bcc: line? Some email servers require at least one address on the To:
line to handle the mail correctly, so you might as well put your own
address there since anyone who gets the mail will see your address as
the return address anyway.
