What title? I see no "title" above.

It will be either OE6 or your ISP causing that popup as a
rule. I don't know why OE does it, but as a rule, supplying
the correct password stops it from repeating.

OK, you've been gone from that company for some 3 years? Have
you been checking mail there anyway? If so, even if you didn't
realize you were checking mail for that ISP, it could be that
they have just finally deleted your account. It's not unusual
for such things to remain active for a long time after
leaving. I have an old web site I deleted and notified them I
was leaving 5 years ago and it's still alive! The only thing
on it is a notice to where the site moved to, and it's still
working. I can't make any changes to it, but the site still
works.
I'm betting that e-mail account is still active on your
computer:
In OE, go to Tools; Accounts.
Look for the entry for that old site; it might still be there.
If it is:
-- Select the old account
-- Click Remove from the column of buttons to the right.
-- OK your way out.
It shouldn't bother any longer.
Please let us know how/whether this works out for you.
HTH,
