multiple email account login - 'enter network password' pop up

Are you still having this problem? I may have a solution for you.

Come on guys - there has to be a solution?

Surely there is some technical way to prevent the pop up?

I have noticed that it occurs for two reasons:

1. Multiple computers trying to log onto the one mail box.
2. If the mail server is down, or having issues - (usually it just fixes itself after a while).

Both these are very annoying - especially when you have 12 shared email accounts like i do. Imagine how many times ive been typing away and not realised the pop up window has come and taken over! WAAGH!

If there is anyone who knows how to disable this window, please share it with me!

I am having this same problem. I am on a home network of 2 computers, one of
which is down now. I use Outlook 2003, win xp, FireFox, IE sometimes. I still
get email from the 'bad account' yet have to deal with annoying popup. HELP!

I had the same problem. The answer turned out that ISP had decided I received
Spam from one source and blocked it at their level. I had successfully
received daily messages up to this time from the same source. When the ISP
corrected the 'errant' sender the problem went away. This was actually a
trusted source who 2 years earlier had a security breach. A spammer started
using their server and still, periodically, it causes trouble in various
areas of the country.

Its not the password that is incorrect, just the problem that you can only have one person downloading email at any time.

Is there anyway to disable this feature?

The pop up takes over - and if you are in the middle of writing something the text is entered into the pop up window. Very annoying!

Im using Outlook 2003 on WinXP - however alot of the other people are using Outlook Express on WinXP - they have the same problem.

Vivian,

Im sorry but i don't think your problem or your solution have anything to do
with the original problem in this thread.

That issue is relating to someone getting the same mail box checked by more
than one computer at the same time. Causing the pop server to reject the
second computer and Outlook pops up with a 'enter network password' even
though there isnt necessarily anything wrong with the password.

By the sounds of it this person has several email boxes and is just looking
for a way to disable the 'enter network password' pop up.

Anyone know how to do that?

The issue lies with your mail server ... you can only have 1 account login
at the same time, so if you and a colleague check for email, the first one
logged onto the mailserver wins ;-) The second person gets the popup
(because the server does not allow the same UserID to logon twice).

If it's a company mailserver, check with the administrator to get more
concurrent logons, if it's you ISP, you could try the same but I would be
surprised if they allow that.

NO ONE HAS ANSWERED THE QUESTION! I have the same "problem" which specifically is THE "ENTER NETWORK PASSWORD" WINDOW popping up. When this pops up for one of my accounts because it can't connect to the mail server within the specified timeout, it doesn't check any of the accounts anymore until I hit cancel or ok. The question is how do we eliminate this popup so if it doesn't connect, it doesn't popup this window and will just continue trying to connect in the specified send/receive time without the need for user intervention. Thank you very much if you can help!

If it's the same question, don't start a new thread. Continue in the old
one.

Remove the non-responsive account from the send/receive group.
