Outlook asking for Network Password

S

Steve P

When I sync (or schedule sync) my Inbox to collect mail
for myself and my wife (separate e-mail addresses on same
BTopenworld account) I regularly get prompted to Enter
Network Password. The dialogue box is already completed
with Server, Username and Password and all I have to do
is "OK" and sync proceeds. Checking the "Save Password"
box achieves nothing. This has always happened since
subscribing to BTopenworld, but has been getting more
frequent and sometimes asks for password several times
within the same sync. Anyone know why this happens and
what to do about it?
