Hey,

I've got a client's computer that is "behaving weirdly". I've got her setup with 2 pop 3 e-mail accoutns in Outlook 2003. I can do an account test fine with both of them. However, on a relatively consistent basis, 1 or the other of the accounts will prompt for the username and password while sending and recieving even though both accounts have the info entered in the account setupis setup to remember it.

When it prompts, it shows the username and has the password asterisked out (SP?). If you click OK without making changes, it goes through and retrieves e-mail. If you hit cancel or close, you get an error and don't retrieve e-mail. It is rather bizarre and illogical. I have tried the different settings such as SPA authentication, and logging into mail server and/or checking for e-mail before sending, but SPA authentication isn't supported by their accounts and the checking for mail first has no affect.

The only thing that I can come up with is corruption on some level or related somehow to pst files that were imported from an old computer. One of the accounts is with Shaw Cable, a big Canadian Broadband Service Provider, the other one is with Look Communications which isn't a bad size either. I've had lots of experience with Shaw and used Look to do hosting for me for nearly 2 years with no trouble.

Any thoughts / ideas / suggestions are welcome.
