Password required for POP3 Receive

eM Client has just automatically updated to version 8, and now, I get a message window appearing when it tries to download emails so that I cannot receive. The error is “Password required for POP3 Receive”, and says "Server says “[AUTH] Authentication failed” It shows my User name and asks for my password, but doesn’t accept my password which I know is correct! I can’t get anywhere further. Can someone please help?

Hi Skybat,
I’'ve tried these settings, and just about every combination I can find, but it hasn’t worked. I need to say that just before all these problems started, I moved the data location for eM Client to an external drive (as my main drive was becoming full). I don’t know if that has affected anything???

Hi Skybat,
I have just discovered that my ISP has changed my password, which I didn’t do!!! So, I have gone all through the process of “forgotten password”, et voila - the problem is solved!!! I would like to thank you for the trouble you have gone through to help me, many thanks.
Best regards,
