Outlook Express cannot connect to Exchange 2000

[azdolt]

Hi,

I am currently configuring an test exchange 2000 server, for some reason I cannot connect to Exchange using Outlook or Outlook Express. However I can use a brower to access the Outlook Web Client using the same username and password.

Any pointers would be greatly appericated.

Rgds,
Alan.

What kind of error messages/symptoms are you getting from Outlook/OE?

It will just keep asking for my username and password as if I had it wrong, but I know it's right, because I can use the same username and password to login to Outlook Express Web client.

here is what I get when I cancel out of the username and password dialog box (if I have "Log on using Secure Password Authentication" box checked in account properties):
Unable to logon to the server using Secure Password Authentication. Account: 'mail', Server: 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR The AUTH protocol exchange was canceled by the client.', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC18

here is what I get when I cancel out of the username and password dialog box (if I have "Log on using Secure Password Authentication" box unchecked):
There was a problem logging onto your mail server. Your Password was rejected. Account: 'mail', Server: 'xxx.xxx.xxx.x', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92

TIA,
Alan

I'm not sure what it is, so I'm going to fire off a few possibilities:
Is POP3 enabled as a protocol on your Exchange server?
Does it work inside and/or outside the local network?
Do any other accounts work?
Are you able to POP3 to an existing mail server on the same LAN?

Thank you for your help, I am a retard.
I forgot that I enable the outgoing server authentication, and it wasn't configure probably on the Exchange. I got it working now.
