    I can access my e-mail using MS Outlook but not with Outlook Express. I would rather use O Express but I get the following message when OE initially comes up.


    Unable to logon to the server using Secure Password Authentication. Account: 'mail.jax.bellsouth.net', Server: 'mail.jax.bellsouth.net', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR An authentication mechanism MUST be entered', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC18


    Can I have e-mail access to the same account using both MS O and OE? Or should I use one or the other? Seeking recommendations.

    The KEY WORD here is: Secure Password Authentication

    You are not supposed to run that.


    GO TO:
    Your properties for that mail account, click the Servers Tab
    UNCLICK the selection: Logon using secure password authentication.

    That will fix the problem :)
