I am trying to create a mail account on Outlook 2003 for the first time. I
would like to you my excite.com pop3 account. Following the directions from
both excite and outlook, I am supposed to select tools and then Select the
"Security" tab, and ensure the drop-down menu has "Password Authentication
(NTLM)" selected.
The problem is there is not a security tab under tools. How do I activate
this tab? I am running the latest update of XP.
Thanks,
Jeff

Have you tried Tools-OPTIONS-Security?
 
Thanks Gordon, but under tools - security there is not a place to check
Password Authentication. That according to excite is what I need to do.
Any other sugestions?

then it's either under the Email account settings in Outlook, OR, a
setting on your connection to Excite.com.
 
AFAIK, Outlook cannot use Excite mail.

Gordon:
There is not a security setting under email accounts (during setup or
changing info). There is one under Tools - Options - Security, but there is
no place to check Password Authentication

I assume this is different from SPA. I checked that once and that did not
work either.
Thanks,
Jeff
 
Gordon:
I just find a way around my problem. Since Outlook can not work with Excite
pop3, I forwarded all my excite mail to my Earthlink account. I then setup
Outlook to work with Earthlink pop3. This works well and allows me to keep my
Excite email address.

Thanks for your help,

Jeff
