Problem with IE v6

[Geff]

I have a problem when running Outlook Express (IE version 6; under Win 2000
Professional SP3).



Despite having configured my mail account to have the User Name and Password
remembered (remember password tick box ticked) whenever I click Send/Receive
the Logon dialogue box appears. This is the box that shows my Mail Server
name, User Name and Password. The boxes are filled in with the correct
details and the remember Password box is ticked but greyed out. When I click
OK there is a slight delay and then the same dialogue box appears, on
clicking OK the process repeats; throughout mail messages are not sent.
Re-entering the User Name and Password then clicking OK makes no difference
I still end up going through the loop.



I have had to revert to using a WebMail based e-mail application in order to
send and receive e-mails.



Effectively this problem prevents me sending e-mails using this
Tiscali.co.uk POP3 account (originally I had a BTInternet 'branded' version
of IE6 but this was removed using the Add/Remove software option and the
Tiscali branded version loaded. I made no attempt to clean the Registry
settings, assuming the Add/Remove application did this).



Note:



I run WIN 2000 as a single user with a default Administrator Account, a
Geoff User Account and a Guest account; I do not have a Log-on password at
system start up, the WIN 200 having been configured to know I am the sole
user.



Can anybody help solve this problem.

Sorry: this newsgroup is for questions about Access, the database product.

One thing to check for before you go to one of the Outlook Express groups is
whether you've set your account up to use authentication for sending. Go to
Tools | Accounts, find your mail account, and check its properties. On the
Servers tab, did you check the box "My server requires authentication"?
