It's funny you ask this...and although I'm not in the same position...I'm running XP and I have many accounts set up in Outlook. I have send/receive set up to check for messages every 5 minutes and it's NOT checking ONE particular account and I'm getting password errors. I have restarted outlook...rebooted, and still nothing works. I also KNOW all the info for that particular account is correct.
I'm thinking maybe someone sent an attachement that this particular POP account can't handle.
BUT...I'm also thinking, with oli's post in mind also, that Outlook is a piece of shyte!
