1. totally off-topic but please....

Thanks Micro$oft, againsad
I've just been signing up to a new ISP. With this ISP that can only be done
by using their installation CD which also (no choice) installed internet
explorer.

Duly installed everything, signed up, uninstalled MSIExplorer and continued
as usual with Netscape.

Arrrghhh

I can now dial into my old ISP or the new one, no problem. On dialing they
both recognize my username and password and I'm logged on.

Problem
when trying to receive or send e-mail neither of them accept my password.

This is something that Iexplore has done, since I've come across it before.
I just can't remember how I sorted it the last time.

I have the same *invalid password* whether using Netscape, CuteFTP or the
plain MS ftp prog.

I'm having to trouble you because you're the only ones who can reply to me
through the browser.

Thanks for any and all help

Terry

Not on my copy of ie.hlp there isn't. Tried using *find* as well, just in
case but got just the usual blurb about ratings and secure sites, nothing
about what associations it messes with in user.dat and system.dat. Couldn't
find anything useful in Control Panel's internet settings either.

By rights, MSIE should've put all the original setting back in order when it
was uninstalled, but, ah, we can always dream.

Thanks

Terry:
   Why dont you goto http://search.microsoft.com/us/dev/
   and search the knowledge base for "e-mail password"
   You did not say what version of IE you are using.
   Maybe reading some of these problem reports might help you solve your
   problem.

Terry:
  I figured out what you have to do.
  Open IE and click on the Envelope on toolbar ( MAIL )
  When you get the internet MAIL dialog open Click on the
  MAIL menu inside of the dialog. At the bottom is an option menu
  Open the options menu and SELECT the SERVER TAB.
  THAT's where you set your PASSWORD for pop3 account.
