Password problems help!

I have had outlook as my email for around 2-3 years now but after installing 
microsoft office 2003 (and using the new outlook express) I have run into 
problems.  When I create a new email account everything is fine (ticked) 
except for incoming mail, and this is because to do this you must enter a 
username and password, although I enter the same username and password as on 
my account and as I had before it just will not let me go to the next stage 
and instead the same  box keeps coming up asking for username and password.  
Please try and help me, is anyone else having this problem?  Hope to hear 
from you soon.

We are confused (and you may be, too): Is your problem with Outlook (OL) or 
Outlook Express (OE), Sco?

I'm not clear.  Are you now using Outlook Express (OE) which is part of Internet Explorer 
or Outlook97/98/2000+ which is part of Office?  And which version?  (If you don't know, in 
your mail program select Help, About.)

The Invalid password error message can mean that any of the following are wrong:
 - POP3 server name
 - Incoming Mail Server Account Name (some require the full e-mail address 
 XXXX@XXXXX.COM , others just want the user part)
 - Incoming Mail Server Password (often case sensitive)
 - Incorrect use of Secure Password Authentication (SPA) - few severs use this
 - Incorrect use of SSL - few servers use this
 - The mail server is having temporary problems
Check these settings in Outlook Express at Tools, Accounts, Mail, Properties, Servers 
(Advanced tab for SSL).  Check with your mail service (generally your ISP) for the correct 
values.  If the values seem correct, retype them and click APPLY.  In the event that the 
account settings are corrupted in the registry, it might be necessary to delete the mail 
account, restart OE and then set up the account again.  In some cases it might be 
necessary to set up a new identity in OE and create the mail account there.
