Hello -
I have a nagging problem in Outlook 2002 --- I have about 10 email accounts
that it checks at different intervals. If one account is having problems
getting to a POP server (regardless of timeout settings, etc), it will stall
usually with an Enter Network Password box -- this will 'freeze' the other
email accounts from downloading until a human clicks OK on the Password box.
Basically, the password is stored and is correct; my ISP tells me that they
are experiencing virus problems on their email servers which are causing
havoc and slowing down email retrieval --- I can deal with that -- but, I
hate the way Outlook is just stuck and doesnt continue to process the other
email accounts. I even made different Send/Recieve groups for the different
email servers -- but, it will still occassionally hang on this one
problematic email server. I cant find any settings that let Outlook go
beyond this -- and setting a huge timeout makes no difference to this
problem. Other than this, this Outlook has been good to me -- but, this
makes things difficult if I leave my cable connection open and hoping to
pull email every minute -- if I step out of the office for a few hours and
it hangs on one of these prompts it holds everything up -- including some
special routing rules I have in place.
Anyone with any ideas?
