That error usually indicates either a bad username or bad password. Most
POP3 services don't tell you whether the authentication is successful
until you have supplied both, for security reasons, and then only usually
tell you that there was an error rather than what the error was, again for
security reasons. In particular, these techniques prevent dictionary
attacks. Therefore, from directory of services, simply re-enter your
username and password. Even if they appear correct, you could be missing
the password, or the username might have been in the wrong case, etc.,
etc., etc. Just retype them, save the record, hit a reset for good
measure, and try again. That's what I did (after thinking I'd been locked
out of my own system), and it worked fine. It is indeed a strange
behaviour of the BrailleNote to show one thing in settings and send
something quite different...
Cheers,
Sabahattin
