I am trying to set up Outlook to handle all of my email accounts. I am able
to go through the setup. However, when it comes time to send/receive, I am
sent into an endless loop of confirming the password. It appears that the
send goes well, I can see the checkmarks in the window behind. I can't find
any answers to this particularly odd problem.

Outlook, here is one place to start:

Sorry, I thought I had typed that info. I am using Outlook (Office,
actually) 2003 and Windows XP. And I did look into that "Password not
saved", but that doesn't fix it. I'll look at the patches. Thanks
