I'm having a problem using Outlook Express. Every time I try to send or receive it asks for my password. I put in the correct password and it asks for it again and and again.......HELP!!

Delete the account and recreate it.

For my own part, I have never had a thought which I could not set down
in words with even more distinctness than that with which I conceived
it. There is, however, a class of fancies of exquisite delicacy which
are not thoughts, and to which as yet I have found it absolutely
impossible to adapt to language. These fancies arise in the soul, alas
how rarely. Only at epochs of most intense tranquillity, when the
bodily and mental health are in perfection. And at those weird points
of time, where the confines of the waking world blend with the world of
dreams. And so I captured this fancy, where all that we see, or seem,
is but a dream within a dream.

You are posting to a newsgroup in html instead of plaintext. That is a
boo-boo. Change your settings in OE at:

OE/ Tools/ Options/ Send tab/ News sending format section: check
plaintext, not html

You should also consider changing the default setting for email to
plaintext as well, but that is another story. It is always better to
post news messages in plaintext. It is better to default configure to
email in plaintext and to only html email under very specific and
limited circumstances which might rarely or occasionally possibly make
an html email appropriate.

Presumably you are referring to email activity and you didn't say
whether it was occurring with receive or send.

That is a 'generic' problem/alert when there is a problem with the
transacting between the mailuseragent and the mailserver; it doesn't
necessarily have anything to do with a user/pass problem.

There are various ways of troubleshooting the real issue, using telnet,
IDServe, or the OE troubleshooting log.

Only required because above poster used QUOTED-PRINTABLE format.
When posting to newsgroups, do NOT use quoted-printable format.
* Not all NNTP clients handle quoted-printable format.
- Some users still use console-mode (non-GUI) NNTP clients.
- The long lines may not wrap properly.
- Scrolling is needed if the long line does not get wrapped.
- The long line may get truncated at the window's width.
- Quoted-printable format uses special character sequences for
logical formatting. View the raw source of your post. Text-
only clients may show that encoding when viewing your post.
* Quoting levels get mangled, especially for multiple replies.
* In replies, there is no clear delineation of content.
- Cannot tell what content is from the original poster and
what is from the respondent.
- Makes impossible to determine who said what when a reply
inserts comments inline with the quoted content.
Do not use HTML format. Post using plain-text format.

We are supposed to guess WHICH version of Windows that you use. If it
is pre-Vista then it could be the password store (pstore) in the
registry. Go to Microsoft's huge support knowledgebase at
http://support.microsoft.com, select Outlook Express as the product,
and search on "remember password protected storage".

Wait for your email server to become un-****ed up.

Oops, Outlook Express doesn't come in Windows Vista. Don't use Vista
myself so forgot about that. Windows Mail comes in Vista (or you
could use the newer Windows Live Mail replacement). However, the
above search still works to figure out why OE doesn't remember its
e-mail account login credentials.

This has happened to me too. What you have to do is delete your account and
re-enter it. Go to Tools/Accounts, highlight your email account and click
Remove. Then click Add and follow the prompts to re-enter your account
details. You should find that your password will be accepted after that.
Oh, and by the way, it's considered bad form to send messages to newsgroups
in HTML format. Use plain text.
