Periodic failure of OE6 to function

A recurring problem I'm having is the failutre of OE6 to open and display
e-mail messages online. I'm using and HP MCE 2005 (with Rollup 2), IE7, a
wireless router and Cable modem service and ATT Yahoo (prodigy) ISP. The
accts names and server names are correct and the same is entry screen as well
as in Tools/options/mail/servers etc. Cable service is working fine and
internet is available, but periodically, clicking OE6 does not open and gives
the following:

"There was a problem logging onto your mail server. Your Password was
rejected. Account: 'pop.prodigy.yahoo.com', Server: 'pop.prodigy.yahoo.com',
Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR [AUTH] invalid user/password', Port:
110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92"

Password is correct;has been verified several times.
I'd appreciate any ideas.

Re this part of the error: '-ERR [AUTH] invalid user/password'.

This happens, clears up for awhile, then happens again? I would first
remove the account, reboot and then add it back. If that doesn't resolve
it, call your ISP and have them reset your OE password with a new one.
They can become corrupt.

Intermittent errors are almost always on the server.

That said, you are using out-of-date settings. It's been well over a
year ago that AT&T asked their customers, including legacy Prodigy
users, to update the server names, ports, etc.

Incoming: pop.att.yahoo.com Port: 995 SSL
Outgoing: smtp.att.yahoo.com Port: 465 SSL
Outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication

Thanks, Bruce:

I'll give the acount change a whirl the next time.
Interestingly, the first time I tried to mediate this I did go for the ISP
to change the sign on. It didn't help much.
