Solution

This problem occurs because your version of Outlook Express is set up to use Secure Socket Layer (SSL), which 123-reg.co.uk does not use. To fix this problem, open Outlook Express, and click:

• Tools
• Accounts
• Then enter on your 123-reg.co.uk mail account and click Properties
• Lastly, click Advanced
• On the next screen, remove the checks from the boxes. This server requires a secure connection for both Outgoing mail (SMTP) and Incoming mail (POP3).

This error reads as follows:There was a problem logging onto your mail server. Your password was rejected. Account: 'pophost.123-reg.co.uk', Server: 'pophost.123-reg.co.uk', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR invalid user or password', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92

Solution

The first step is to check your Outlook Express settings, making sure that the POP3 and SMTP servers are correct, and that your full username and password are correct.Then test your connection by following this procedure:

• Click the Start button, then click Run, and type in cmd (Windows NT/2000/XP) or Command (Windows 95/98/ME). This will open a new command prompt window, with white text on a black screen.
• Type in the following exactly as it appears. You will not see what you are entering so take it slowly, and if you make a mistake, start again:
• telnet pop.123-reg.co.uk 110
• Click the Enter key on your keyboard. You will then be connected to the email server.
• Type in USER followed by your email address, e.g. USER jo_blog@domain.co.uk, and then click the Enter key. You will then get a message +OK.
• Type in PASS followed by your password, e.g. PASS joblog0370-1, then click the Enter key. If it is correct, you will get an OK Well Done message.
• If you can do this, you have connected to the 123-reg.co.uk server, meaning the problem is with Outlook Express.

If you cannot connect to the server, your password may have become corrupted. Please change it, then try again.If this doesn't work, it may be that TCP/IP has become corrupted within Windows. Try reinstalling TCP/IP using the following instructions:

• Go into Settings
• Then Control Panel
• Then Network Connections
• Right-click your connection, and click Properties
• Click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), then click Uninstall

Close down your PC and start it up again

• Follow the same steps as above, but instead of clicking Uninstall click Install
• On the screen which appears, click Protocol and then Add
• Click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and then OK (you may be asked for your Windows installation disk at this point)

If you run Windows XP, the process is slightly different:

• Click Start
• Go to Run
• Type in Command
• In the screen which appears, type in netsh int ip reset c:resetlog.txt
