Welcome to the Esumsoft Forums, Pierre !

Sorry to hear of the "Authorization failed" issue you are experiencing.
To get started, I have one question for you about the problem you are having:

Did you already have POP Peeper installed when this issue began (and PP was functioning properly), or are you installing POP Peeper for the very first time?

* Another forum member recently experienced an issue somewhat similar to yours. You may want to look at that topic HERE, to see if the information provided by Jeff and lakrsrool is of help.

Other members of the The Esumsoft Team will be reviewing your topic and provide additional feedback.
In the interim, as you are our newest member, we ask that you please review the following Sticky:

Thank you & welcome aboard! :D

An "authentication failed" error almost always means that the login-name and/or password is not correct. If you're sure that the password is correct, try changing the login-name -- if it doesn't already contain your full email address, change it to that; and if it does, then remove the "@example.com" so that it's just the username.
