Resolved Question

outlook express imap <autenticazione PLAIN non riuscita >

Aug 11, 2011 8:46PM PDT

O.S WindowsXP (Sp3)
Provider internet : Infostrada Libero

Programma di posta :outlook express
Settaggio :
Imap
Server posta in entrata : imapmail.libero.it
Server posta in uscita : smtp.libero.it
X autenticazione necessaria

When I attempt downloading le schede <Posta in arrivo-Posta in uscita-etc> I receive the error < Autenticazione Plain non riuscita >

I tried to find how to correct in Tools>Option > .......... whith no success.

Please tell me if the error has been corrected by Provider or how doing by myself.
I bag your pardon for mixing the language.
Please accept my cordiality.

Authentication failed

Hi Francesco.

Assuming you are managing emails in Italian with an Italian email provider, then;

1] le schede = Cards

2] Posta in arrivo-Posta in uscita-etc = Inbox/Outbox etc.

3] Autenticazione Plain non riuscita = Plain Authentication Failed.

Given that, I ask whether this ever worked, and if so, what has changed since it last worked?

The "Plain Authentication Failed" seems to say that the email server cannot authenticate your login details, and if that is right, then you need to look again at your username and password, and also make sure that you have set up your email account settings in Outlook Express correctly.

Your email provider's web site will probably have a web page guiding what settings are required.

I hope that helps.
