Question asked on Feb 15, 2014

I inherited the maintenance of a business email account with 3 IDs already set up.  I just added a 4th ID, but get the following error:


Unable to send or receive messages for the *** Email address is removed for privacy *** account.
An incorrect password was entered.
The next time you send or receive messages, you'll be asked to enter your user name and password for this account.

Server Error: 0x800CCC90
Server Response: -ERR authorization failed  Check your server settings.
Server: 'pop.secureserver.net'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC92
Protocol: POP3
Port: 110
Secure(SSL): No


I based the configuration settings (General, Servers, Security, Advanced) on the properties of the other 3 IDs.  I 'believe' they are all correct, given the fact that I have looked at them / compared them a dozen times.  Note - the password entered is unique to this one (new) ID.


Any ideas on how to get past this?  Any help appreciated!
