How do I get rid of Outlook's "Enter Network Password" dialog?

I have several email addresses that I aggregate into Outlook 2003. Several of
them are "@gmail.com" addresses. I just added another one, and I input all
the required data (incoming and outgoing server names, email address, email
account p/w, etc) into Outlook. But when I click on the "Test Account
Settings" button, I get the "Enter Network Password" dialog -- and no matter
how many times I enter my password there, the dialog won't go away until I
hit "Cancel."

I've verified that the password is correct (works just fine when I access
the Gmail account directly via the browser). All the other settings are
correct. I only aggregate about 5 addresses into Outlook, so it's not as
though I'm overloading the app....

Any suggestions on how to resolve this? Thanks!
 
You cannot simultaneously connect to the same POP3 server with different
credentials; only 1 session at a time is allowed.

That said; Outlook in most cases will detect this and will not try to
collect mail from the same server at the same time. Things that can break
this is a too low automatic send/receive interval (with 5 accounts set it to
at least 15min) and virus scanner integration as they will take over the
send/receive session.
