If you are sure you are you are entering the correct username and
password, one possible cause for that error is account corruption.
One thing you should try as a quick fix is to delete that corrupted
mail account, restart Windows Mail, then recreate that account.

Norton Antivirus 2008 (and earlier) is among the top three troublemakers
for Windows Mail. Symptoms often don't surface until several months have
gone by, or until an update occurs.
First, be sure to disable its email scanning, for the reason explained here:
http://thundercloud.net/infoave/tuto...ning/index.htm

Several users here have reported that Symantec will give you a free
upgrade to Norton Antivirus 2009, which cures the problem.

In a worst case scenario, you may have to uninstall Norton, followed by
using their debris removal tool:

Instead of uninstalling your antivirus, another option is to upgrade to
Windows Live Mail, which is more resistant to the adverse effects of overly
intrusive antivirus products: http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview

I have been having similar problems but it is centered on my Yahoo account.
I have set up three accounts in Windows Mail all to check the same email
account at Yahoo. One uses the plus servers and the other two do not. The
problem is usually on the first of the three accounts encountered when I
click Send/Receive mail. I then click cancel and the other two work fine.
Sometimes the first works fine and the 2nd or 3rd one messes up. As an odd
coincidence, Since I just set up this newsgroup account and subscribed to
this group, I can select Synchronize All and all work fine, but if I try the
Send/Receive button I still get the error.

I will try your suggestion and delete all three accounts, restart Windows
Mail and then recreate the accounts. I'll report back the results. I do
not use Norton so that is not the problem.

Was Norton or MacAfee antivirus ever installed on that computer?
Most new computers come with a trial version of one of those two.

I don't quite understand why you need three different accounts in
Windows Mail to check one email account at Yahoo.

Yes it was, but I used the Norton Removal tool to remove it. It appears
that tool has been updated as I did not see any non-plug and play drivers
that it used to leave behind unless they changed the names to just to be
ornery.

Yahoo email service suffers numerous problems at various times. Server
timeouts userid/password not recognized and other assorted errors. With
three accounts at least one works every time.

BTW I noticed that Microsoft now has two news servers, msnews.Microsoft.com
and news.Microsoft.com. It appears they are duplicates of each other. Are
any useful newsgroups (for an experienced amateur) unique to either one?

msnews.microsoft.com and news.microsoft.com are aliases for the
same server.

Unless all three of your Yahoo accounts have the Mail Plus service,
downloading via POP will not be reliable.

Downloading with the Plus service is no more reliable than without it. I
have the Plus service for the other benefits.

Yes, but what I'm getting at is that free (non Plus) Yahoo accounts
are not supposed to have POP access. Does your Mail Plus service
entitle you to apply it to more than one Yahoo email address?
