Outlook stops checking email w/ "Enter Password" prompt?

[Mike]

Howdy,

I'm using Outlook 2003 on a Windows XP Professional system.
My system is connected to the Internet using DSL going through a Linksys
router.

I have Outlook configured to check several pop3 email accounts every 15
minutes.
I'm checking my DSL email account and 2 yahoo.com accounts.

The Problem:
Several times a day, I'll check my machine and see that there's an Outlook
window displayed
asking for the password to one of my Yahoo accounts with a check box to save
the password.
These passwords are already saved and they work, for example, if I hit
cancel and the Send
and Receive all of the accounts are checked successfully.
Now, this is a problem because, while this message box is open, Outlook will
not Send / Receive
any of my other accounts. This poses a problem because my Yahoo accounts
can fill up if they aren't
checked by Outlook on a regular basis.

My question:
Is there a way to configure Outlook, such that if it fails to log into an
account, simply ignore it and
go on, and check it again as normal the next scheduled time (eg. 15 minutes
later)?

Something simple like, shoot I couldn't log in, I'll try again later?

Thanks,
Mike

Here's some more information, it just happened again so...

If I look at the "Outlook Send/Receive Progress"
"7 of 8 Tasks have been completed successfully"
With "(e-mail address removed) - Receiving" Processing
The password dialog is as such:
Enter Network Password
Please type your username and password
Server: pop.mail.yahoo.com
User Name: xxxxxxxxx
Password: ********
Save this password in your password list: UNCHECKED

If I check the "Save this password" box and click ok or if I leave it
unchecked,
doesn't matter, this "Enter Network Password" box will display again at some
point during the day.

Any ideas? Is there a log or something that might have more details that I
can attach?

Thanks
Mike
