Outlook POP3 hangs on "Enter Network Password"

‎07-22-2011 12:11 AM

Outlook 2007 running constantly and set to check 7 e-mail accounts every few minutes,

Windows 7-64.

 

For some time now I return to the computer to find Outlook stalled and the "Enter Network Password" box displayed. This is happening at least five times a day. It is not always the same account, but it does seem to happen more on two out of the seven. All I have to do to continue, is to click "OK" and it goes through just fine. I have not been able to make it happen when checking via  the "Send/Receive" button. It does happen while I am using the computer for other things, so it isn't a sleep problem. (computer on 24/7 and never sleeps or hibernates)

 

I also have the Win 7 OE9 "Can not display webpage" problem several times a day which no one seems to have a handle on. It is for this reason that I am not too quick to blame the Comcast servers. I just don't know if this is my problem or a Comcast problem.

 

Are there any known issues with problems like mine?

I have had the exact same problem - Comcast - Windows 7 64 bit. My settings have not changed at all and suddenly I get the same popup Enter Network Password. And yes, if I say "ok" or just hit the x mark, it goes away and my mail is fine. But it is extremely disturbing to have this happen constantly all day while I am browsing or working. Have been searching for answers but have found none. Anyone???
