Enter Network Password message annoyance

[Shane R. Pouch]

Hello to all,

Help!!

I am using Microsoft Outlook 2002, and everything works fine. However, I
get an "Enter Network Password" dialogue box that pops up on me quite
often - so much sometimes that it is very annoying. I don't do anything but
check the check box described below and then click the "Okay" button. This
clears the dialogue box but sometimes it will pop right back up. I may have
to do this 3 or 4 times in a row sometimes to make it stop. After that,
everything works just fine. Then it does it again later. And so on.

This dialogue message box that pops up has the following statement at the
top:
"Please type your user name and password"
Below this, there are 3 entry cells with the top one locked out - it is
labeled to the left as "Server". The second one is "User Name". And the
third one is "Password".
Then below all of this is a check box with the following statement to the
right of that:
"Save this password in your password list"
Lastly, at bottom right is an "Okay" button and a "Cancel" button.

I don't understand why when I check the "Save this password in your password
list" option, it continues to come up unchecked. Is there a setting
somewhere buried in Outlook that I can permanently stop this from happening?

I can send you a screen shot of the dialogue box if that would be helpful

Thanks in advance for your help,
Shane

There is a fix on Microsoft's site but it does not work. There is more to
the problem than they realize.

Thanks - but that doesn't help me much. Where can I find the fix you speak
of that is on the MS site?

If there is more to the problem, can you please explain?

What type of account is this, POP, Exchange, IMAP, or HTTP?

Brian,
It's a POP account. To be more specific, I am actually using two (2) POP
accounts that are both being checked on each send/receive.

as well.

Brian,
Thank you for the info. I took a look and I'm afraid that this stuff is too
far over my head! I was hoping that there was a setting somewhere in the
software that I could switch to stop condition from occuring.
Thanks again,
Shane
