Outlook and POP3 not working!

Guest

Hi

I have a dedicated Linux email Server and have 250 email accounts connected
via POP3 for 30 countries. On one particular pc, I have a problem in that all
the tests in outlook get ticked except the 'login into incoming mail server
POP3' and then a windows pops up for the username and password. Username and
password is definately correct as I can login to webmail from the same
computer with the credentials i am putting in. I have disabled my antivirus
firewall, windows firewall, recreated the account in Outlook as well as the
profile. Microsoft Update has been updated with the latest Service packs and
updates. How can this problem be solved.

Please help!

Is Outlook using only one POP3 account? If not, Outlook looks
for new messages for all accounts at the same time (at least for Outlook
2002 and 2003 not sure about Outlook 2000). Since you cannot logon to the
same server twice with different credentials, this will cause authentication
errors and Outlook will prompt you for the password. It could have gone
correctly before because there were never new e-mails at the mailserver at
the same time.
If Outlook is using only one account, have you tried deleting and recreating
the Outlook profile?
