Receive error message:
Account: 'mail.wavecable.com', Server: 'mail.wavecable.com', Protocol:
POP3, Server Response: '-ERR incorrect password or account name', Port: 110,
Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92
Issue started couple weeks ago. Never had Windows Mail ask me for my user
name & password until then. Now, after entering it I get this error message
and it will not allow me to access my email.
Please provide directions for resolving this error to an alternate email
address:
(e-mail address removed). No other emails are permitted to this temporary
email account.
Thank you.
 
This problem may be caused by your 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
