I suspect that Brooke is correct. I sometimes have that issue with my ISP. I don't re-enter the password, I just click try again and it goes through. So the actual password isn't incorrect, just something happens in the transmission between the client and the server. I thought about doing a pop3/smtp capture, but it doen't happen enough to take up the disk space to bother. And yes, it can happen on different pop3 accounts on the same ISP. > > LMH > > > Brooke Clarke wrote: >> Hi: >> >> A similar thing happened to me and it turned out my ISP made some >> changes.
