outlook test account settings error: POP3

[marcus cannady]

I receive an Outlook 2002 error message regarding my
account (POP3)even though I am using the same successful
settings as in Outlook Express. The error message is The
POP3 e-mail account you created does not support Secure
Password Authentication (SPA).

1. The account used does work with SPA. I have used it
successfully on other computers and on the same computer
using Outlook Express.

2. The connection is through AT&T WorldNet and the
operating system is Windows XP.

3. The account is an administrator account.

4. The server I am attempting to connect with is a
Exchange 5.5 server using Internet Mail Service.

What happens if you uncheck the SPA option? I use Worldnet as my backup and
it does not use the SPA option.
