I have not been able to send or receive mail for several days. The dialog
box for user name/password keeps popping up over and over and then when it
finally stops and I ask for received mail I get an error message stating
that the pop3 is not working (functioning) What is the problem and what do I
do to fix it?

First of all, you will need to uninstall any non-compatible antivirus.
Windows Mail is not compatible with most McAfee or
Norton security programs. Those will need to be
uninstalled, not just disabled.

After uninstalling your non-compatible antivirus, download
and install a more compatible antivirus like the free Avast:

Even compatible antivirus programs will need to have their
email scanning option turned off. For more on this topic see

If you still get an error message after doing the above, copy
that error message and paste it into a reply here.
