Try unchecking the option to "login using Secure Password Authentication".
I believe OL XP supports APOP, but OL 2000 does not. If that doesn't help, try specifying the full email address for the user name: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I don't see why that one would be different between 2000 and XP, so I think it's probably the SPA setting. -Seth -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of William Denniss Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2003 3:19 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [xmail] POP3 Authentication error for Outlook 2000 Hi, I have just recentally installed XMail on our office linux box, and it is= =20 doing it's job nicly (as an SMPT server, inhouse emails, and connecting t= o=20 our offsite internet server using POP syncronisation).
