It is most of the time an invalid user/password information. Or your pop mail server requires SSL. Have you tried to change the setting for your POP3 mail server in your Outlook and check the "Requires SSL" checkbox?
Do you use the correct port for your mail server? Standard is 110 but for example Gmail uses 993.
You could try to start a telnet session to prove if you can connect. But some mail servers don't allow this. But it is worth a try.
Open a command window (Start - Run - Enter "cmd") and type in telnet followed by servername i.e. pop.myserver.com followed by the port number i.e. 110 for example "telnet pop.myserver.com 110" Once you are connected type "USER youUserName" and hit enter then type in "PASS yourMailPassword" (Note: You won't see what you are typing, so be sure to type correctly!) and hit ENTER. If you get an error you might have a problem with your server account, if it works, you have a problem with your Outlook settings.
Let us know how you get on

Well, I’m sorry I can't understand so complicated VB words, but if you have internet connection problems, you can try the software tuneup360, which is really helpful~~

Glad your laughing, I never get mad at myself when I discover that it was me all along. I hate when I discover that I caused the problem, but thats the way it usually is, I have been told that I know just enough to be dangerous.
Hopefully, someone will discover this post and either get their problem fixed or at least have a good laugh at themselves and us.
It has been fun working with you and thanks again for your help and patience.

I am an idiot, I discovered the problem, I had a crashed hard drive and was working with my e-mail online for about 10 days, after fixing my pc, I wanted my sent messages from when I was working online to be transfered to my outlook program on my fixed pc (I am a packrat when it comes to e-mail, I know its a problem) so while online I moved them from my sent folder to my inbox hoping that I would get them to my pc that way, evidently that was not a good idea, I went online and moved them back to the sent folder just as a shot in the dark and now the problem is gone, sorry to have wasted your time and I really appreciate all of your help.

Ok, what makes sense at this point is that there's an email sitting on the POP3 server that outlook might not like. I've seen this happen with even plain text emails. is there any web interface you can use to clear your inbox?
Oct 20, 2007 - 01:45 PM
I tried creating new groups with each email address in each group with the same results.
I am not using Secure Password Authentication on either account.
Both accounts have been working fine until today, I have used sytem restore, outlook repair and deleting and recreating the account causing trouble all with the same result.
What is puzzleing is why one account works while the other does not. The only problem is with receiving mail not sending mail.
Any other suggestions?

Some ISPs block access to other SMTP mail servers while connected via them. (They block
TCP/IP port 25 except to their own SMTP mail server.)
Does this problem happen if you connect using another ISP?
here's a couple of microsoft articles, but I'm not entirely sure that's what you're experiencing:

done, this is the new error message:
Task 'mail.mchsi.com - Receiving' reported error (0x800CCC90) : 'Your incoming (POP3) e-mail server has reported an internal error. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP). The server responded: private users.'

Oct 20, 2007 - 01:23 PM
Here's the next thing to try:
open the control panel and open the Mail icon.
show profiles
Add a new profile and name it anything (1)
add your account settings
return to the screen (1) and select the new profile name from the dropdown box and click OK.
start microsoft outlook and test your settings.
open the control panel and open the Mail icon.
show profiles
Add a new profile and name it anything (1)
add your account settings
return to the screen (1) and select the new profile name from the dropdown box and click OK.
start microsoft outlook and test your settings.
Oct 20, 2007 - 01:19 PM
then this:
Task 'mail.mchsi.com - Receiving' reported error (0x800CCC90) : 'Your incoming (POP3) e-mail server has reported an internal error. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP). The server responded: GENERATOR>'

Oct 20, 2007 - 01:18 PM
now this:
Task 'mail.mchsi.com - Receiving' reported error (0x8004210E) : 'Your mailbox is temporarily unavailable because another e-mail message is being delivered to it or another mail application is accessing it. The server responded: -ERR [IN-USE] account busy (locked by another POP3 process)'

Oct 20, 2007 - 01:17 PM
There seems to be no communication or authentication issues which is what I was expecting to see.
Try running
outlook /cleanprofile
from the run command.

Peter,
Thanks for the suggestion, I am having the same problem, I used your test of the server account via telnet above and that worked fine. So if the problem is with my outlook, what should I check next? In my case, I have two e-mail accounts set up with my outlook account, they both have the same settings as far as I can tell, one works completely, the other one gives me the error message:
~Task 'mail.mchsi.com - Receiving' reported error (0x800CCC90) : 'Your incoming (POP3) e-mail server has reported an internal error. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP). The server responded: s.'~
Without the ~ of course, I do keep getting the one same e-mail over and over again, while I am trying to get this resolved, I did go online to my internet provider and foward all e-mail from one account to the other.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Error code (0x800CCC90) is just an example as result after Outlook 2003 client corruption. such corruption often happens through nertwork gateway, whic basically block the server administrator that looks like internal error creation. Such the problem can't get fixed by means of manual methods. Hence in order to make such problem fix people are required to make installation of third party software into its system, which is "Outlook 2003 Repair".
