Problem receiving emails in Outlook

I can send but not receive emails in Outlook. I get a Popup asking me to Enter Network Password. I enter this but it still asks me to enter password. I use a NTL (now Virgin) email address.

Any advice welcome

    Remove the account, then re-add it.

    Go to "tools" - "accounts" - "remove".

    Then "tools" - "accounts" - "add"

    Do as suggested by stone7 above

    If that doesn't work, make sure your password is right and that you account hasn't been locked out or disabled.

    If you are being prompted for a password it means the setup is wrong, password is wrong or your account has been deleted / disabled.

    Thanks for the replies.

    ps, I have done as stone7 suggested but still not working. Could be a problem with Virgin?

    There are no compatiblity issues between XP and Outlook 2003, so assuming all your settings are correct, then it looks like a Virgin problem.
    Are you using pop.ntlworld.com as the incoming server, and is the POP3 port set to 110 in the advanced settings. Password will be case sensitive.
