Do you have antivirus software disabled? See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

On the Servers tab check the box on the bottom for outgoing server:
"My server requires authentication".
Looks like you didn't do that.

I got rid of Mcafee but still nothing. I only have defender, could a problem
lie in there as well? Thanks. Whenever I send it justs says connecting but
after 5 minutes I get the error message.

I've tried different settings including what you mentioned, but no results.

Try removing your Mail account, closing and reopening WinMail, and then
adding it back again.

I just had the same problem - exactly the same. Here's how I solved
it.
My PC came with Norton Protection Center installed and this is the
culprit. Change the settings on outgoing email scanning. I turned off
"scan outgoing mesages for suspected worms" and the problem was solved.

I hope this helps.

Account: 'mail.fraservalleyptr.com', Server: 'mail.fraservalleyptr.com',
Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR Login failed.', Port: 110,
Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92

The above is what i get and then i get prompted telling me that my
username and password are not correct when they are. they are the same
settings as in my pc. it makes no sence

news:190574.34umgi@xxxxxx-mx.forums.vistaheads.com...Have you tried entering your username with no CAPITAL LETTERS?
Have you tried with it both followed and not followed by the part of
your email address starting with @? Are you sure you use CAPITAL
and lowercase letters in the right places in your password? Some,
but not all, email servers are set to be picky about such things.

Also, if you have set Windows Mail to remember your password
and only see this problem when it's using its remembered password
you may be running into a quirk in what it does when you click
Apply after applying the remember password checkmark. It
forgets the password if you do this. If you think this is the case,
click on Tools, then Accounts, then your email account, then
Properties, then Servers. If there is no check mark in the box
before Remember password, click on this box. Don't click on
Apply, as you normally would after a change. Click at the end of
the password, then backspace over it, then enter the password
again, with any approvals needed. Don't click on Apply. Click
on OK, then Close.

Also, you might check on your settings for the outgoing mail server
since port 110 is seldom used for an outgoing email server. It is
often used for the incoming email server, though.

Check with the company running that server for the correct
settings. They don't seem to have put them on their web site,
if I was looking at the right web site.

Well, it was my fault.. I where it says email username, i wasn't putting
the proper information. stupid me. sorry guy
