Have been unable to receive emails for 4 days and am panicking

Many thanks Michael. Gave it my new ISP password and managed to download 66 waiting mails!

Many thanks Michael. Gave it my new ISP password and managed to download 66 waiting mails!

I use Pmail version 4.51 since upgrade in 2009. I have over 13 years of invaluable emails archived. But 4 days ago I get repeated messages:

Connection established

to 212.159.9.81

>> 0018 +OK

Hello there.

<< 0016 USER

europtics

>> 0024 +OK

Password required.

<< 0015 PASS

XXXXXXXX

>> 0020 -ERR

Login failed.

 

I don't know where to check or insert a password. The only relevant action I have performed recently is to have changed the password to my Internet Service Provider with subsequent change with matching password in my Modem.

This situation is very worrying. Should I re-install or upgrade to the latest version and hope I can answer the new installation questions?

Tools => Internet Options => Receiving. The topmost connection settings in the list of POP3 hosts are probably the ones you're looking for.
