Outlook 2003 error 0x800CCC92 "invalid user name or password"

Outlook 2003 error 0x800CCC92 "invalid user name or password" [message #145216] Wed, 28 March 2007 11:06 intrepidlily Messages: 4 Registered: March 2007 Junior Member I can't get Outlook to connect properly to my POP3 email. When sending and receiving, I can send just fine, but as soon as it gets to receive, the user name/password prompt pops up. All information is correct, but the box repeatedly pops up until I hit cancel. After I cancel, I get this error message: "Task 'pop.central.cox.net - Receiving' reported error (0x800CCC92) : 'Your e-mail server rejected your login. Verify your user name and password in your account properties. Under Tools, click E-mail accounts. The server responded: -ERR invalid user name or password.'" I am absolutely certain that the user name and password are correct, as well as the POP3 and SMTP, and I followed the instructions provided by CoxMail to the letter. I tried using Outlook Express, but it gave me the same error message. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Report message to a moderator

I can check the web- based email just fine, using the same password as I'm trying to use for Outlook. I'll give my ISP a ring, but in the mean time, any other ideas? Report message to a moderator

All I get is "Connecting To pop.central.cox.net..." for a while, then the whole window disappears. I really appreciate your help! Report message to a moderator

Make sure you don't have port 110 blocked in your firewall for outbound traffic. You should have seen something like this: C:\> telnet pop.central.cox.net Connecting to pop.central.cox.net. +OK InterMail POP3 server ready. -- Brian Tillman Report message to a moderator
