You have received this notice because you previously used POP3 service from MSNŽ. We wanted to inform you that access to the MSN POP3 service will be changing effective February 1, 2007.

MSN POP3 Email Configuration Change
Hello Kath,
Thank you for confirming that the e-mail came from MSN and not from anyone trying to take over my computer. I made the changes and now I am not able to get my mail through Outlook Express. Instead of bringing up the mail I get a window "Logon - pope.email.msn.com". It ask for: Please enter your user name and password for the following server: Server: pop3.live.com User Name: Password: I entered my user name and password (same as signing on with MSN) but the window comes right back together with the following error message: There was a problem logging onto your mail server. Your Password was rejected. Account: 'pop3.email.msn.com'. Server: 'pop3.live.com'. Protocol: POP3, Server Response: 'ERR authorization failed", Port: 995, Secure(SSL): Yes, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92. My questions a 1. Are the new settings suppose to work also before February 1, 2007? 2. Are others having the same problem and what can be done to correct it? Any help will be appreciated.

Anders Hellstrom Please see the thread that PA Bear directs you to - one paragraph to note in paticular.... "3. The notice may also be poorly worded.[ reference "no later than Feb1")....since changing prior to Feb 1(e.g today) may result in both incoming and outgoing errors. You may wish to try periodically or wait until the deadline. Your mail client will normally provide a error if failure is present." -- Kath Adams MS MVP - Windows (Outlook Express) |
