Outlook 2007 prompting for password
Outlook 2007, 12.0.6680-5000, SP3 12.0.6683.5000
This is a simple home PC, single user with nothing but a cable modem between me and the internet.
I have two mail accounts, one POP roadrunner account and one IMAP AOL account.
It has periodically started asking for my AOL password, and changing the PW would solve it for months before it started again. This time it just isn't satisfied with that solution and asks frequently, but not every time, it automatically gets mail. Sometimes it appears it's trying the wrong PW and I re-enter it and it's okay for a few downloads. Other times, I just click "Remember" and it's happy for an hour or two. It is set to download every 15 minutes. The Roadrunner account never has this issue.
After searching, the best reply I can find is this:
Stop Outlook/Outlook Express Asking For Your Password Every Time | Windows Vista | Windows Tools, Help & Guides
It refers to Vista and XP, so I hesitated to start following the steps. Is there a more current fix? Or a better idea?
Thanks,
Rusty
