MY SET UP
- Windows XP Home Edition SP2
- Automatically downloads the latest updates from Bill effing Gates
- Office 2003, Outlook 2003
- Outlook email account is a POP3 setting
- Outlook PST file size = 65 MB
- Outlook archive PST file size = 51 MB
- Outlook is set to send/receive with server every 5 minutes
- Server time out = 10 minutes
- Dell Inspiron 630m
PROBLEM
1. When I set up my email account in Outlook 2003, I checked the box for remember my password.
2. However, it frequently pops up this irritating prompt to enter the network login password
3. Others in my company dont have this issue, just me
4. The password is already there (as asterisks) in the prompt, so I hit OK
5. Repeatedly pops the prompt again. I have hit OK sometimes like 20 times - just to take out my irritation with Bill effing Gates and then I give up and hit cancel
6. Its not a show stopper just a supreme irritation - like popping up when I am IMing with someone or working on a word doc and this stupid prompt is in front of my face waiting for me to do something
7. Sometimes the connection will happen and email will download
WHAT I HAVE TRIED SO FAR
1. After googling the web - tried doing the open registry, backup your password maintenance something, delete the key and restart machine. I;ve tried this like 5 times, doesnt work
2. Thought my Outlook file was too big, so deleted a bunch of emails, cut down file size and archived emails older than 3 months
I am sorta at my wits end. I want to avoid this irritation in my life and more importantly get my emails every 5 minutes. PLEASE HELP ............
