Can't send/receive messages. Error says [AUTH] Incorrect username or password but the user name and password are correct. 

My Windows photo galary and Windows live messenger (vista) has stopped working I have downloaded Windows Live Essentials but this has not fixed the problem.  Can you advise on corrective action to take?

 

When I power up my laptop error message appears advising that these services are not working.

i can`t receive my mails

error: Account: 'mail.btinternet.com', Server: 'mail.btinternet.com', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '.', Port: 995, Secure(SSL): Yes, Error Number: 0x800CCC18 how can i solve it??

I'm not able to open Messenger, so having tried for 24 hours to sort this decided to uninstall Windows essentials, but cannot....just get this error message 80070641.
I recently started getting "mail could not be received at this time" error.The rest of the message reads: "The server for account xxxx returned the error: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password. Your username/password or security settings may be incorrect. Would you like to retry entering your password?

All of my credentials are correct and when I enter the information it will connect for a few seconds but then ask me to enter credentials over and over. If I choose "no" it disconnects my session.

I've tried deleting the account and rebuilding, restarting my computer, and deleting my keychain. Nothing seems to work.

Thanks for any help!
I changed the passwords for my two POP webmail accounts and then tried to change them in Outlook.  I know I have to add the passwords to the main account screens and then, because my POP accounts require passwords, to the "More Options" sections.  Usually there is no problem when I do this, but for some reason the last time I tried to do it, I kept getting "authentication failed" messages (sorry, I forgot to copy down the error code).  I am wondering if it is because I pressed "Save" after filling in the initial account screen (before I filled in "More Options") rather than just pressing "OK" on the "More Options" screen after I finished entering all the new information.  Should I just press "OK" after filling in everything?  Should I choose "Save" as well after completing everything?

I was finally able to get the passwords to work, but just want to clarify what I was doing wrong initially.
It will not accept my password, I have tried to change password but can't
