Outlook Repeatedly asks for user name and password

[someonelikeyou]

Help! I've been all over the net trying to find a fix for this.

I am using Outlook 2002. Windows XP. I have five POP email accounts set
up. One of the accounts repeatedly asks me to enter my username and
password - it will not retain it.

Does anyone know how to fix this? It's driving me crazy!!

Thanks.

In addition to what Vince says, it seems to me that Windows has a maximum
allowed number of simultaneous network connections, the value of which can
be changed in the registry. See the section about TcpNumConnections in the
article at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314053/en-us
