[mso] Re: Outlook constantly prompting for password

I run Mailwasher and get this - all it means is that you have some other
program running concurrently which is trying to access your email accounts
at the same time, and which has locked access to the email account, thus
preventing Outlook from getting there simultaneously.  It's nothing
serious, just need to look at your other running progs - most likely it
will be an antispam or antivirus thing.

Same thing happens to me.  AND I can't seem to get a pop-up box about the
small business manager to NOT appear at the startup of Outlook, which
prevents me sending a word document directly from Word because I still
have to open Outlook, click OK through the business manager message, and
then click send/receive for my word doc to send!!!

I've tried the Repair in the help menu.

Any other suggestions greatly appreciated.

 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.
