"Logon Faliure": Password was rejected

mediaboy · Post by **mediaboy** » Fri Mar 04, 2005 6:34 pm

Hi I setup MailEnable yeterday and have not been able to retrieve mail via pop successfully. I am getting an error saying that the password is incorrect. But I know it is.

Here is the error I am getting from my email client:

Again, I know that the username and password are correct. Something else is happening here.

Thanks in advance for your help!!

Did you cut and paste or import the password? If so, look for a space at the end as this has burned me a couple times..

You can find the problem if you look in the file called auth.tab.

Nothing is working still (Thanks for the responses, though!)

I reinstalled the software and checked the auth.tab file. Still telling me I am using the wrong username and password. SO ODD! There is something happening in the communication of the password OR in the settings. What could it be?

I really want to be a customer but if I can't log in to the software...

Any other suggestions?

Here are screencaps of the settings in MailEnable and Outlook. Feel free to try and login!

Hi,

Ensure that the username is correct (In the screenshot for account name you have: 123@sprungmedia.com, ensure that the postofficename part is correct. Do not use the domian name you need to use the postoffice name. (IE: 123@sprungmedia).

I'm having the same problem. Has anyone come up with a solution? I am using Windows Server 2003 on my server. I have outlook 2003 installed on a different system and I am trying to retrieve mail. It keeps saying the password or username is incorrect.

Hi,

What error is displayed in Outlook 2003 when you try and send? Ensure that you have the setting "My server requires authentication" in the Outlook account settings.

We can check our mail through mail2web.com, but Outlook is saying the username or password is incorrect. Any ideas? Even stranger is the fact that some of my coworkers can check their mail via Outlook without porblem. I have all accounts set the same, or so I think.

Any ideas?

I get this too from only one user. If I reset his password it will work for a little while and then it starts failing again. I know the password has not changed because he can still get in through webmail. STRANGE THING is he has two mail account on my server one NEVER has problems and one does. TWO different domains.
