 * Using Postie v 1.6.6 messages are not being posted. Postie says 0 messages found–
   Sucessful POP3 connection on port 110
 * Unable to login. The server said:POP3 pass: Authentication failed [-ERR Authentication
   failed.]
 * This problem only sarted several months ago. When I first installed postie it
   was working okay. I also have Postie installed on another WP site and it works
   fine there.

 * Sounds like your password changed.
 * You may also consider upgrading to the current version of Postie. Many new features
   and fixes.
