Hi All -
I've a new additional desktop running Win 7 Ult. Old PC running XP.
Installed Office Pro 2010 on new PC (already on old XP machine) and trying to set up Outlook email but getting nowhere.
I've copied Account details from XP machine (running Outlook no problem) into new PC and clicked 'Test Connection'. Keep getting error message Verify Username and Password. All 'Test Connections' are bouncing back OK to XP PC but no joy on new machine.
I'm fairly sure the problem is password related. I've tried the p/w originally issued years ago (by Blueyonder)and one other option that it may be but, to honest, its been so long since the XP unit was set up I'm not really sure that either option is correct and, of course, it is only displayed in existing Accounts as a series of asterisks.
I would appreciate any advice to resolve this and restore my sanity!!
