Outlook 2003 prompts me for a password for an email account

[Redcookie]

Help! Outlook 2003 prompts you for a password for an email account that has a
saved password that is already saved. When the dialogue box "Enter Network
Password" pops up (every 5 minutes) it has the server line filled in, my user
name filled in and my password filled in. The "Save the password in your
password list" box is never checked so every 5 minutes i have to reckeck that
box however it never stays!!! This is driving me crazy. It started doing this
yesterday and after calls to my ISP and looking around this site i find no
working resolution. I found something that was for Outlook 2002 but it wasn't
relevant to me because i only have one email account set up that uses this
password and/or user name. can someone save my sanity?

Welcome to the Outlook 2003 Password Hell club. :-( I don't think MS
will write a fix for us, they want to sell Outlook 2007.

Ah Ha! So i am not alone out here. Well i was afraid of that. What i just
found had me go into my system and changing my registry key, and that could
cause problems that they say cannot be solved. *sigh*

guess i'll have to go shopping because this confirming password every 5
minutes is going to send me to an early grave.

thanks alfred, for at least letting me know it's not just me.

Hi,

I'm in... weekend of complete hell trying to sort out OL2002 "enter Network
Password."

Tried everything but nothing worked. Your thought of OL upgrade to OL2007
seems the most viable and honest answer. Thanks for that.

It's good bye to OL for me, there loads of other calendar, contacts and
e-mail sorter-outers on the market, I never want to experience this again.....
