Please help. I've set up ftp and web components on server 2003 ent. but
can't get mail to work. I've triple checked security and password settings
but no success.

Local host error from outlook exp. says:

There was a problem logging onto your mail server. Your Password was
rejected. Account: 'xxx', Server: '192.xxx.xxx.xxx', Protocol: POP3, Server
Response: '-ERR Logon Failure', Port:110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error:
0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92

xternal error from non-networked outlook 2003 says:

Task 'mail.xxxxx.com - Receiving' reported error (0x800CCC92) : 'Your e-mail
server rejected your login. Verify your user name and password in your
account properties. Under Tools, click E-mail accounts. The server
responded: -ERR Logon Failure'

What am I doing wrong?

Thanx Johan for your response. I'm running pop3 mail that comes with 2k3
server with no active dir. My current config is domain name ip address is
used for incoming& outgoing server names locally. And, mail.servername.com
for incoming & outgoing server names externally. Account name is
user@domainname.com on both clients.

Am I missing something?

Account name must be of the form
user@domain

According to the error codes
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;208814
it looks like you have wrong password.

Try and change the pasword to something simple. If you are using "Encrypted
password file" for the pop3 service, use winpop.exe to change password.
"winpop get auth" will tell you what kind of authentication method you have
configured.

You can also verify username/password by a telnet session. Start a telnet
session from command prompt with
telnet <servername/ip> pop3

Now send user and pass commands, they should return "+OK"
user <user@domain>
pass <password>
quit
