I've tried this solution and am still having this problem
on two machines. Have tried everything I can think of
short of a full reformat and NOT installing the Office
service packs when I reload everything.
The systems are running XP Pro and Office XP (Outlook 2002)
on one and Office 2003 on the other. Both are trying to
connect to POP3 addresses, and both continuously pop-
up "Enter Network Password" windows for both the POP and
SMTP functions (seperate pop-ups) when sending or
receiving (not just checking, there has to actually be
mail waiting to transfer for the problem to occur). I'm
connecting to Yahoo hosted business mail, so the user must
be POP authenticated before sending. The account name is
the same as their address, ie.
[email protected].
It's got to be one of a handful of things I would think.
Either Windows/Outlook isn't storing the password in the
right place or at all, Windows/Outlook isn't storing or
sending a correctly encrypted password, or I have a
network issue (both machines are on the same cable run,
but what little I can do to test it haven't shown any
problems, packet loss, etc.).
My user is frustrated, I'm frustrated, and my boss is
losing patience with me for not being able to just fix it.
Help!
Steve
