Outlook 2007 keeps asking for passwords & I've tried many solution

[JB]

I am running Outlook 2007 on XP, having just upgraded from Outlook 2002. So
far I cannot access my email accounts.

Each time I get a "enter network password" for my POP/SMTP accounts and for
my hotmail, I get a similar prompt asking for my password too. Despite
checking the box saying "save password", I get a prompt for the password
straight away.

After spending (ie wasting) time surfing for answers I've tried all the
solutions recommended:
- updating the "Control Panel > Mail > Profile" settings
- via "Control Panel > Mail > Profile", creating new profile and setting
prompt in Outlook to use the new profile.
- fixing the Protected Storage Subsystem
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290684)

.... but none of the above work. It seems bizarre that upgrading a well-known
piece of software like Outlook on XP causes this problem. I am not the only
one to have the problem either, judging by the other questions on here.

So is there anything else I can try? Any help gratefully received...

Already tried recreating your mail profile?
See http://www.howto-outlook.com/faq/newprofile.htm

Also, if you have a virus scanner that integrates with Outlook, disable this
integration and try again.

Thanks Roady/Robert but like I said above, I've tried the "new profile"
solution and it's no good.

I am running Norton Internet Security too. But after disabling it, no use
either.

Any other ideas please?

Hi there
I am facing same issue, but I did not upgrade my outlook, something weird
happened when I started my notebook, my profile wasn't able to upload, so I
migrated everything to a new XP profile, same with the outlook information,
something is wrong as neither the outlook keeps the password, and neither the
Messenger keeps the LIVE ID...
Any solution for this?

And did you try what Robert suggested already?

I am having the same issue after upgrading from Office 2003 to Office 2k7
Enterprise on a XP machine. I have tried all the solutions that I came
across with no success. I constantly get a password prompt about every
minute to enter my imap/smtp password. It appears that the solutions
provided works for some but not for others...
