It could well be Norton anti pc software.
Uninstall it and use a Vista compatible product like
http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html
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

I have checked everything 10 times with and without my email provider...they
are telling me there is a problem on my end. I still believe this is a Vista
problem. This is my error message (very similar to everyone else):
Account: 'syringa.net', Server: 'mail.syringa.net', Protocol: POP3, Server
Response: '-ERR Invalid command.', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error:
0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC91
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.

mail.syringa.net is a valid address with an IP number. I don't think that's
the problem.

You haven't verified that email scanning is off in Avast.
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
scan, then restarted my computer and now Windows Mail works fine.

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?

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)

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.

In the *popoup window *that asks you to verify or confirm your account

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
sensitive information, such as email account and password, could be obtained
by anyone that wants to do harm or just play around.

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.

Thanks for all your advise,
I have however tried all of those things...
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.

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

What is the fix for this?
