Paul,
It looked to me like, when the server was restored to some functionality on Sunday after the hiatus, it was opaerating with a greatly reduced capacity, so that it would reject new 'applicants' while it dealt with those who were receiving etc. Perhaps their tech support notices page will enlighten us about the knock-out (if we can find it).

Thanks for that Flor, obviously the iol issue and the Trojan are unconnected 
then.
My experience is much the same as yours'. It happened on Sunday as well, can't remember whether morning or afternoon. T he problem persisted for a couple of hours, on and off, and then disappeared. Incidentally, I don't 
have save password checked.

Hi again Paul,
I will elaborate a bit on my experience then. the break happened with me on Sunday morn just after 3 AM! I was able to verify this by the times of the last emails received when I checked my email later in the morning. Also, during the day, several times, the email password was accepted without my 
doing anything, since I have save password checked.
Then, after some 15 minbutes to half-an-hour or so, as suddenly as it had come back, the ability to receive email would go away again for another 
while. (My outgoing server is mail1.eircom.net, as I'm on an eircom
broadband connection, etc. There was no issue with my sending
emails.) I know that some emails got 'swalled up' since they never came - as they usually would have, like the NYTimes news headlines email at post-8 
am.)

Paul,

the IOL difficulties occurred on my Windows XP machine. I didn't use
my Windows7 computer on Sunday.

Flor.

Hi again Flor.

Being a little suspicious about this, I ran a number of scans on my
computer today.  Malware Antibytes threw up the below, which I have
now removed.

C:\Windows\AutoKMS\AutoKMS.exe (Trojan.AutoKMS) -

Hope the iol passwords haven't been compromised.  Mind you, there is
nothing on google to suggest that there is a problem.  Apparently,
this is a file connected with Windows 7 and 8 and sometimes shows
upas a Trojan.
Take a
look those of you who know more about viruses than me.

Hi Paul,

It mayt have been a problem at HQ - gpo.iol.ie - then. When i rang
the tech
support number (for IOL gold, my package) 18000923924, there was no
respoonse.

Hi Flor.

Interesting, I had exactly the same problem with my iol server on
Sunday.
It appears to have resolved itself now.

Hi Gary,
Just yesterday (Sunday) I had an issue where my incoming email (IOL) 
pop3 server wasn't working correctly, and would then repeatedly
throw
up the logon username and password prompt even after I'd input them
correctly.
However it would also, periodically and for a while, come back and
fixed by itself.

In that event, there would be nothing you at your end could do,
except
endeavour to get a live human in the tech support to deal with the
issue.

have you checked the status of the capslock key? or is the password
mixed-case and could the case of some of the letters have been
jumbled?
Or, if the first letter was initially capitalised, change it to
lower
case so that all of the password is in lowercase. (that happened to
a
friend of
mine: for some reason unknown to them, the case of the first letter
mysteriously got changed.)

Good evening all.
A friend it using windows mail and lately when they go to look at
mail, it prompts them to put in username and password, they have
done
this correctly but it keeps coming up.  How can I resolve this
issue
and stop the prompt?.
