103333 2002-12-04 21:58:00 I have Windows Xp Home edition.I can send emails but i cant receive any in my outlook.
When i try to get emails it comes up with........There was a problem logging onto your mail server.....Your name or password was rejected.server response ERR BAD login (account:POP3.watchdog.net.nz,POP3 server:POP3 watchdog.net.nz: Error number 0x800ccc92.
I get a dialog box saying to put my username and my password in i do that and i still get the message.
my username and password is the same as the one to connect to the internet and i can get that and into outlook.
how can i fix this problem.
thank you

It looks like there is a space between pop3 & watchdog.net.nz
Make sure there are no spaces and it reads pop3.watchdog.net.nz

Its easy to have a simple error in your settings and not see it.

103337 2002-12-05 03:46:00 I suspect you have a gap in "pop3 watchdog.net.nz" if you didn't i think the PF1 post wouldn't have spat your copied message onto 2 differant lines, which is how i read your error message.

Make sure it is "pop3.watchdog.net.nz" ( no gaps or ")

If you arew 100% sure that you are using the right user name and pass there should be no problems. Be sure that you don't have caps lock on or anything like that.
