my vista mail was working well until now. i changed my original password and
ever since then i am getting this error message

Account: 'pop.gmail.com', Server: 'pop.gmail.com', Protocol: POP3, Server
Response: '-ERR [AUTH] Username and password not accepted.', Port: 995,
Secure(SSL): Yes, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92

everytime i click on send/recieve a window pops out asking me for my
username and password. but, everytime i put it in, it doesnt recognize it.
when i cancel i get the error above. =(

please help me solve this problem. its giving me a headache! thanks!!
 
Where did you change the password at?

You appear to be using a GMail account. The password would need to be changed at the GMail server website first and then in Windows Mail.
 
i changed my password at gmail then i changed my password at windows mail.
but, it was still giving me this error. i deleted the account at windows mail
too and even rebooted my computer.

i also tried to create a new account with a dfferent gmail address. same
thing. i was getting a pop-up window always asking for my username and
password. when i type it in it gives me that error. =(

i wonder if it's gmail's problem?

Who is your ISP and are you using their out going server and not the gmail
outgoing server

Where did you change the password at?

You appear to be using a GMail account. The password would need to be
changed at the GMail server website first and then in Windows Mail.
 
Glad you got this sorted. Enjoy. :)
