Windows Mail Problem

I am unable to log into Windows Mail. When I login I get the Window Security
box asking me to enter my username and pasword. Once I do, the system
indicates it is authorizing, but then just brings me back to the same login
box. I get the below error message:

Account: 'mail.comcast.net', Server: 'mail.comcast.net', Protocol: POP3,
Server Response: '-ERR invalid username/password', Port: 110, Secure(SSL):
No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92

I have verified all my Internet Account settings and they are ok, so I do
not know why the system will not let me in.

Thanks for any help.

Re: Windows Mail Problem

There is no log in to Windows Mail.
The only username & passwords required, are those necessary to access your
email account.
Did you try logging into Comcast's webmail portal, to see if your
username/password work?

Bud

This can be also caused by your Anti Virus when scanning emails or integrating with
your mail client. .Disable the email scanning

That error is frequently generated when the mail servers are down. Call
your ISP if you've been experiencing this problem for more than a few hours.
They can tell you if the problem is theirs, or yours.
