New problem started yesterday, Globalmailer email server won’t connect. Using Windows XP SP3, Internet Explorer 6, Outlook Express is primary email program. Every time I try to open Outlook Express I get an Error Message. First a popup box that says:
Please enter your user name and password for the following server Globalmailer.
It correctly shows Globalmailer as server. Displays correct user name. There’s a place to enter password below and that’s that already filled in, showing asterisks, so no idea what the letters are. If I click on that as-is, the way it’s already auto-filled in, I get another popup that says:
There was a problem logging onto your mail server. Your Password was rejected. Account: ‘globalmailer.net’, Server: ‘globalmailer.net’, Protocol: POP3, Server Response: ‘-ERR Unable to log on’, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92
Happened a couple of times yesterday but then corrected itself later when O/E checked for new messages, or after closing program and reopening.
Today I tried clicking on popup, the way it pops up already filled in, but no go. First time it reacted by giving the second popup above, 'There was a problem etc.’ Now it just gives the same popup again and again, to please enter password, same box & message. I tried correcting the password, still rejects it.
Only changes to computer are Avast! updates. Have defragged, run Avast! scan, Trend Micro Housecall, Malwarebytes scan, no change. This morning I used my Hotmail account as a standby. Now Hotmail won’t finish loading, cannot open messages to read and it’s useless too! Disabled Avast! and it makes no difference, everything still screwed up. Current Avast Program Version is 6.0.1407, Virus Definitions Version 120418-2.
