    Outlook errors, 'server rejected login', username or password wrong


    Didn't know if this was best asked here or in browsers and mail.

    Anyway, using Outlook 2010 (32-bit) on Win7 64-bit, checking 11 unique e-mail addresses (bitdefender is my A/V). About 4 days ago out of the blue it began giving the error messages during auto send/receive cycle on about 2-3 of the accounts during each cycle. It is never the same account and sometime it will work fine, sometimes just one account fails, sometimes 2 or 3 out of the 11. If I do a manual send/receive it will almost always work on all 11 - maybe 95% of the time. I just don't get the randomness of it and my ISP (Frontier) claims that there are no issues on their end. I adjusted the server timeouts from 1 minute to 2 and this had no effect.

    Any thoughts?

    Maybe something in this MS Article will help:

    I was always thinking this must be on the other end but repeated calls to Frontier over 5 days and they kept telling me that they were not having any issues. Couldn't fix it and called again Wednesday and now they have a recording that says some users are experiencing difficulty retrieving e-mails!

    Yesterday and today no problems.

    Glad to hear that... at least it's now solved. :)
