Outlook Express error

After downloading KB890830 (Malicious Software Removal update), I cannot open
Outlook Express. It asks for my password and then rejects it. Everything
was fine until I downloaded the update. i get this error:

rejected. Account: 'pop.central.cox.net', Server: 'pop.central.cox.net',

[Crossposted to OE General newsgroup]

Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3)?

Did you "download" the Malicious Software Removal tool via Windows Update?
If so, what other updates were "downloaded" (e.g., KB951748)?

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed? What
anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall,
if any (e.g., Zone Alarm)?

Is your anti-virus application configured to scan incoming & outgoing email?
