My network connection password request keeps comming up every minute. The
'test settings' feature says that incomming mail is not happening because of
an incorrect password. New incomming mail is being turned away. What is
hapening????
A "network password" is completely different than a "login password". Do
you actually use dial-up for Internet access (since that typically requires
a password to access the modem pool at the ISP)? That would be a network
password. Or is the login failing for your e-mail account? That would be a
password for an online service (and is not a network password).
Is your version of Outlook to remain a secret? Is your version of Windows a
secret, too? And the type of e-mail account (POP, IMAP, HTTP/Deltasync,
Exchange) is also a secret? These are the details that can affect the cause
the problem and focus on a solution.
If the password of which you ask is for the login to your e-mail account,
why is it coming up every minute? How short is the mail polling interval
configured in Outlook? Less than 5 minutes is considered abusive and can
result in the next mail poll stepping atop of and aborting a currently
executing mail poll. Set the mail poll interval to 10 minutes.
--- Posting Hints ---
ALWAYS REVIEW your message before submitting it. You want someone OTHER
than yourself to understand your post. Also remember that no one here is
looking over your shoulder to see at what you are pointing. If you don't
well explain your situation by providing the DETAILS that you already know,
don't expect others to know what is your situation. Explain YOUR computing
environment and just what actions you take to reproduce the problem.
Often you get just one chance per potential respondent to elicit a reply
from them. If they skip your post because you gave them nothing to go on
(no details, no versions, no OS, no context) then they will usually move on
to the next post and never return to yours.
What is Usenet:

When using a webnews-for-dummies interface (e.g., Microsoft's Communities,
Google Groups, or a leech site using a forum-to-Usenet proxy), those are
gateways to Usenet. Despite the pretense of a forum, you are participating
in a newsgroup (aka Usenet).
