My Windows mail account (Vista)has suddenly stopped working. It wil not permit me to send or recieve emails. It asks me for my username and password, but when I type these in it just doesn't recognise them and asks me to enter them again. The error message is

Account: 'pop.ntlworld.com', Server: 'pop.ntlworld.com', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR invalid user name or password.', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC9

This happened around 6 months ago but that time when I went to Tools - Accounts - Properties - Servers the username and password fields were blank. This time they were popualated. They have since disappeared. The 'remember password' box was/is checked. Last time this remedied itself somehow - after retrying the same username/password combination a number of times

I use AVG free rather than norton.

I'd be grateful for any tips or ideas on how to reset the password if it won't accept the ones I recall as correct

Thanks. ps am not very computer literate so step by step instructions would be appreciated
 
Sorry, but this newsgroup is for questions about Access, the database
product that's part of Office Professional.

My recommendation would be to get in touch with your ISP.
