On Windows mail whenever i click on "send/recieve", it comes up with a
request for my username and password. After typing this in it will the
request will come up again. Canceling out of this loop makes it come up
with the following message
Account: 'pop.wanadoo.co.uk', Server: 'pop.wanadoo.co.uk', Protocol:
POP3, Server Response: ' Disconnect because authentication to back
server is too long', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error:
0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92
Can anyone help me!?

I'm not sure what I did but I finally got mine to work, and am now able to
download my e-mail I did go to my Nortons and under Firewall procesing I hit
page default so not sure if that had anything to do with it or not, all I do
know is I have spent all day on this computer trying to get it fixed.

I can guarantee that you will have future problems with Windows Mail
if you keep Norton on your PC.

It could well be Norton anti pc software.
Uninstall it and use a Vista compatible product like

Email scanning should be turned off in any anti-virus. Also exclude EML
files from the scan. It provides no
protection not provided by the regular resident protection.
Besides that, McAfee and Norton are not compatible with Windows Mail and
should be uninstalled.

Hi ProImage212,

0x800CCC90 = POP3_RESPONSE_ERROR = Client response invalid.
0x800CCC92 = POP3_INVALID_PASSWORD = Password not valid for account.

Double check to make sure that your password is entered correctly in
your email account settings. (Tools - Accounts) It would not hurt to
double check you account settings with your email provider's support
webpage on how to setup a email acconut in Windows Mail or Outlook
Express. They both use the same settings.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

problem. This is my error message (very similar to everyone else):

ProImage212,

0x800CCC90 = POP3_RESPONSE_ERROR = Client response invalid.

0x800CCC91 = POP3_INVALID_USER_NAME = Invalid user name or user not
found.

When I type "syringa.net" into IE7, I am taken here: "nwinfo.net"
It says to use "mail.nwinfo.net" (no quotes) as the POP3 and SMTP
server names. You might try that and see how it goes.

Go to Tools, Accounts, select the syringa.net account, Properties,
Servers, make sure that "Log on using Secure Password Authentication"
is unchecked.
If that setting was already unchecked, which antivirus are you using?

As Frank already indicated, be sure email scanning in Avast is off.

While researching your ISP, I noticed that Syringa.net was owned by
Nwinfo.net, but was recently sold to Winbeam, see http://www.nwinfo.net.
So, if they haven't made changes already, they will probably do so soon.

I had the -exact same- problem and do not use Norton but use Webroot.
So after reading the postings here, I had Webroot do a complete virus

Change the Password?

From what I have read, there appears to be more than one cause of the
0x800CCC90/0x800CCC92 error message and, hence, more than one fix. The
following might be of help to some people.

After a recent weekend when my web-hosting provider carried out system
maintenance, I started getting the 0x800CCC90/0x800CCC92 error message
on attempting to retrieve mail. This happened on a laptop running Vista
using Windows Mail, but not on two desktops running XP using Outlook
Express.

Tried disabling email virus checking.
Tried uninstalling/re-installing TCP/IP.
Payed money for two registry fixing-programs, one of which explictly
claimed to fix the 0x800CCC90 error.
Tried re-installing Windows.
Tried everythig else I could think of until I finally tried a different
mail program (Mozilla Thunderbird).
The new mail program had the same problem, but gave a more explicit
error message; namely, that it was the mail-receipt password that was
rejected. Changing to a completely different password fixed the problem.
My problem is fixed, but not explained. The old password was accepted
before the maintenance, and was still accepted afterwards when sent from
computers running XP. What change can have occurred to create a problem
for a Vista laptop?

Chances are, your antivirus corrupted that account when you had
email scanning enabled. Also, for some antivirus programs, just
disabling email scanning is not sufficient. Which antivirus was it?
One thing you should have tried is delete the account, restart
Windows Mail, then recreate that account.

Uninstall your Anti Virus and then re-install it without the email integration
(scanning) option. Just by disabling the AV scanning might not work and or take
effect (it does not on most)

Thanks, Gary and Peter, for the information on turning off email virus
checking effectively.

I was going to check this out, and changed the email password back to
the one which gave trouble. However, it is now accepted; no 0x800CCC90
error.

So, I can't do any testing until the problem arises again; but I will
be better prepared when that does happen, thanks.

Test your password by logging in to your webmail:
http://bt.yahoo.com
If that works, it proves you have the correct username and password.

Has an antivirus program like Norton or McAfee ever been installed on
that PC? Most new PCs come with a trial version of those.
Is any other third party security program running?

Without an antivirus program, your system could easily be invaded and your

by anyone that wants to do harm or just play around.

I had exactly the same problem, actually i still have the problem, I
tried all the things suggested here, aslo spent an hour on the phone to
my service provider who ended up saying it must be a microsoft problem
not us... finally by accident I have at least managed to send / recieve
emails... before, the window would continualy pop up asking for username
and pasword, but after I had input the corect details is popped up again
aking the same. On that pop up there was a checked box, saying remember
my credentials, when I unchecked the box and put my details in, it
accepted it and my emails worked normally. But everytime I open my email
program, it asks me again. So the problem hasn't really gone away, but
at least I can use my email again.

First, test your password by logging in to your provider's webmail.

If that works, it proves you have the correct username and password.
A likely reason for the username/password failing is account corruption.
One thing you should try as a possible quick fix is to delete that corrupted
mail account, restart Windows Mail, then recreate that account.

If that doesn't fix it, more drastic measures will have to be taken.
Which antivirus are you running?
As a minimum, email scanning in the antivirus must be turned off,
although that may not be sufficient to eliminate all bad effects.
In a worst case scenario, your antivirus may need to be uninstalled.

If turning off the email scanning function does not resolve your problem,
consider upgrading to Windows Live Mail, because it is less prone to
suffering bad effects from overly aggressive antivirus programs.

Email scanning in any antivirus must be disabled, for reasons
explained here:

I already run the latest windows mail program, I have uninstalled
Norton anti-virus comletely, and because I can't leave myself
unpretected I've just loaded up a new 12 month contract with McAfee. The
pop ups on my email were still happening while there was no antivirus
program running at all on my laptop. I know I'm using the correct
username / password as the email webpage accepts them and I can read my
mail there. I am really stumped. There must be someone somewhere who is
either responsible for the error or knows what is responsible for the
error on all our computers!? Microsoft? how do you get in touch with
them?

Thanks again for all your help and suggestions.

Regarding your antivirus choice, you "jumped from the fire to the frying
pan" !! McAfee can be every bit as problematic as Norton !! Windows
Security Essentials would have been a better choice.

Why did you get McAfee without checking with the experts first?
There are other antivirus programs that are much more compatible
with Windows Mail.

If you don't want to get rid of McAfee, your best remaining option
is to upgrade to Windows Live Mail, because it is less prone to

suffering bad effects from overly aggressive antivirus programs.

Email scanning in any antivirus must be disabled, for reasons

1st one question:

Will Windows Live One Care affect this?

Ok, I have did everything in these posts NOTHING works.. I have tried
Thunderbird, Windows Mail and nothing works... 3 of us have been without
email for a week now... I have used Reg Boost to clean the registry on
all accounts.


What is the fix for this?

Thank you,
