Account lockout by outlook credential prompt?

User A has login to (exchange 2003) outlook 2003 using his credential.
After user A logout, outlook still remembers the last login name.
User B tries to login to his outlook profile, click "cancel" on the password
prompt a few times with user A credential, this got User A account locked.
I had disabled all account lockout policy on the local security policy.
No password policy on domain.

Is this a bug?
Windows XP SP2 and Office 2003 standard.

Are you using Home, or Pro?
If Pro this a computer joined to the domain, and are the users logging in
with their domain accounts (and not local accounts)? Do you use roaming
profiles?
If Home, why?
 
Hi Lanwench,

Windows XP Pro SP2 joined to the domain.
Particular user was using local profile.
Also user credential name was stored in the outlook credential prompt.
I tried looking to delete it in the Windows user/password management but it
was not there.

Thanks

Why are you using local accounts instead of domain accounts? I don't like to
create those for anyone. Does this problem occur if you use domain accounts
and roaming profiles (configured properly!) and folder redirection?
