[mso] Re: Outlook constantly prompting for password

Check out this article:

Outlook 2002 prompts you for a password for an e-mail account that has a
saved password

Although it says 2002, it may still apply.

Subject: [mso] Outlook constantly prompting for password

 I have Outlook 2003. It is set to check for mail every 60 seconds on 2
e-mail addresses. Often, for no apparent reason, a window pops up asking me
to enter my user name and password. The remember the password check box is
always cleared. I select the check box and click OK, but it prompts me again
and again. Sometimes I'm in the middle of typing something, and I look up
and find that I'm typing in the password box. There is nothing wrong with my
settings or e-mail server--I use the Test account settings button and it
prompts me again, but everything else works normally. I am able to send and
receive mail with no problems.

I keep my computer and Office completely updated.

Why does Outllok do this to me so often? This is definiely a bug. I just
want the Remember password check box selected. There is no reason for it to
magically clear itself.

Joel
