Vista - Login username and password

Hi Group,
I have a problem logging in to send or get my mail. I’ve entered my account
settings exactly matching my existing PC. When I try to log in to my server
(cox) to send or get my mail, A “windows security� dialog box pops up calling
for “logon to pop.west.cox.net�. “Please verify that both the username and
password are correct for your mail server� My user and password have been
the same for years and I know them well. It will not accept them and prompts
me over and over. Any help solving this would be appreciated.

I am having the same issue as this. My IP provider can't figure out what is
going on. A bug in Vista perhaps?

Try removing the account, closing WinMail and then reopening it and then add
it back again.

I found that I had a lot more difficulty with a clean install. I went back
and installed XP, got all my settings working but didnt install parograms.
Then I did and "overwrite" with Vista and everything was recognized.
