Subject: Urgent Help Needed with Phantom Email Accounts


Good morning, everyone,


I hope this message finds you well. I'm reaching out because I've encountered a frustrating issue with my AOL/Verizon account, and I could really use your insights.


When I log in, I successfully retrieve emails from my two main accounts (...@verizon.net and ...@gmx.com). However, I've been receiving failed login errors for two email addresses that I no longer use (...@verizon.net and ...@gmx.com). This situation is causing some concern.

I've thoroughly checked the "Internet Options" but haven't been able to locate these phantom accounts. I'm determined to resolve this issue and would greatly appreciate any suggestions on how to track them down and either delete or deactivate them.


Your constructive feedback would mean a lot to me during this busy season.


Thank you in advance for your help!


Happy Holidays,
Tom G, Sr.

To see all POP3 host configurations that exist go to Tools > Internet options > Receiving (POP3) tab. Once there, click the Add button. All of the ones that exist will be listed. If you can't identify the phantom ones by their name then you may have to look at the configurations settings of each one using the Edit button.


To see which ones are being checked during each POP3 cycle just look at the ones listed in the Receiving (POP3) tab. Be advised that this list is identity specific so if you use multiple identities the you must check this in each identity. Those "phantom accounts" will be listed in a Receiving (POP3) tab somewhere.
