outlook keeps asking for password. i have 3 accounts setup. i leave
outlook running all day. it will intermittantly dislpy a pop-up asking for
the password to one of the accounts. when i cancel i get an error message.
i have ggoled and KB'd and found nothing that fixes this problem.
what's up with this?
outlook 2003 and XP.

Hard to say without knowing the type of accounts and whether or not they all
belong to the same ISP.
In general, to fix this, set your automatic send/receive options not below
10 minutes and disable your virus scanner's integration Outlook. You'd still
be sufficiently protected by your on-access scanner part of the virus
scanner. For more details see;

I solved this by changing my preferences in my Outlook setup so that mail is not delivered automatically -- when you want to download your mail, just click send/receive. I was told I was getting this because I had my mail set to download every 10 minutes, to either disable automatic dowload or try changing it to every hour or something. Haven't had that popup since.
