Download IMAP folders into Windows Mail

Middlecat

Hello,

I am having problems downloading IMAP folders into Windows Mail. It asks me
for a username and password, so I enter my details as per login into webmail.

However, it says the following:

"The server has rejected your login. Please verify that your username and
password are correct.

Login failed.

Protocol: IMAP
Port: 143
Secure SSL: 0
Code: 800cccd1"

Can anyone help please?

Thanks!

The error message looks like you may be using Windows Live Mail
instead of Windows Mail. If so, you'll get a faster answer if you ask in
newsgroup:

microsoft.public.windows.live.mail.desktop

Also, have you tried entering your username with no CAPITAL
LETTERS, and both with and without following it with the part
of your email address starting with @? Are you sure you're
using CAPITAL and lowercase letters in the right places in
your password? Some email servers are picky about details
like this.

Thanks for the response. After trying numerous time, I called up Electric
Mail, which is the email service provider, and found out that I don't have
permission to use IMAP at all.
