Weird Outlook Express Problem with signing into gmail

[whovestadt]

I have set up my e-mail account (e-mail address removed) up in outlook
express and for some reason it keeps prompting me for password, and no
matter what it says its the wrong password... i know i have typed it in
right atlest once in the 150 attempts. It is the right password, i can
go to gmail.com and log in just fine. i have set up the account with
gmails auto account creation tool for outlook express, and i tried
setting it up manually. My other gmail account worked just fine. and i
have set this account up on another computer's outlook before. *shrugs*
so im really lost. This is the error i got, though i dont think it will
help, its just a standard wrong password error.

There was a problem logging onto your mail server. Your Password was
rejected. Account: '(e-mail address removed)', Server: 'pop.gmail.com',
Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR [AUTH] Username and password not
accepted.', Port: 995, Secure(SSL): Yes, Server Error: 0x800CCC90,
Error Number: 0x800CCC92

what makes you think that it's an OE problem?

gmail is a newb ... OE has it's problems but why do you think that?

its your account settings as described. check them and the steps needed to
access Gmail via pop.
Note this is an Outlook group - not Outlook Express. Try an Outlook Express
group for further information.

because gmail works fine on my companies laptop, which means theres a
difference in configuration between that outlook express and this
outlook express. none of which i can compare, i removed all my accounts
from it a couple days ago.

Yes BillR, the account is set up for pop3 access.

well, you need to check your settings!

Wow BillR... did you have to look that one up? damn, now why didnt i
think of that... Oh yeah... i did. tryin reading what people write
before you go berating someone. Just incase you have some mental
deficiency and cant scroll up or read long passages, here it is again
for ya.
"i have set up the account with gmails auto account creation tool for
outlook express, and i tried setting it up manually."
"i have set this account up on another computer's outlook before."

well, considering you even post to the wrong group I seriously doubt you
have paid much attention to what you are doing. Your error message is clear
on what the issue is - "Username and password not
accepted."
You've got it wrong - check it!

Yeah... im having an outlook express problem, i can so see how i posted
in the wrong group. Allow me another quote, again from my first post.

"it says its the wrong password... i know i have typed it in
right atlest once in the 150 attempts. It is the right password, i can
go to gmail.com and log in just fine."

so again, send an order form, better yet, get your mother to do it,
back to hooked on phonics, because you need your money back. Go to
wal-mart, buy a shotgun, load it, that means you stick a shell in the
gun, and cock it. Stick the end with the hole into your mouth, and have
someone pull the trigger of you cant reach. That will solve all your
problems. Have a nice day asshole. For the future, since you dont
know what the hell your talking about, do forums and groups a favor and
shut the hell up.
