This is the error code I get when I send and receive mail from the window

Account: "pop.west.cox.net', server: 'pop.west.cox.net', Protocol: POP3, server response: '-ERR an authentication mechanism is REQUIRED ', Port: 995, secure (SSL): Yes, Server error: 0x800CCC90, error number: 0x800CCC18

Which would indicate that: login with secure password authentication should be checked in tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Servers.

That said, this account has ever worked? I use Cox on the West Coast and I use port 110 for the outgoing. Port 25 for incoming. And SSL is not checked here.
