Outlook 2003 Password Problem

B

Bishoop

Two or three times a day a window pops up "Enter Network Password". The
email server I use to get email is listed in the Server line, my user name
is listed in the User line and * are present representing my password. I
just click OK and away it goes.

It may work for a few hours, I have automatic email retrieval set to every
one minute, then the same window opens again. I click on OK and it's fine
for a few more hours.

In the email account properties my password is set to 'remember'.

Any suggestions as to what could be going on? Could it be a problem with
the email server just not recognizing my user name and/or password? I don't
get any error message suggesting that.

Thanks for any help....

No, I haven't. I'll give it a try. Is this a known anomaly?

Thanks.....

People who upgrade (rather than a clean installation) seem to have the
profile go a little screwy (technical term) when upgrading so creating a new
mail profile fixes a lot of anomalies.
