I have Outlook 2003 set up with several email accounts. All of them are now not working. I tried rekeying one of them and now I get prompted for the network password all the time. The email is still not going into the right folder.
Background.
My laptop was in hibernation mode overnight and when I went to logon in the AM, it had rebooted. When I brought up Outlook it said the Personal Folder had not closed properly and was recovering. Once it was finished, that’s when the inbound emails all went to inbox.
I then went into email accounts and tested. The ‘send test e-mail message’ failed:
The specified server was found, but there was no response from the server. Please verify that the port and SSL information is correct.
I rekeyed in all the information. I still get all inbound going to inbox AND I now get prompted every xx minutes for the network password.
I’ve combed through the current answers and haven’t found a resolution. There was one that said to delete windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts. I have both \hosts and \lmhosts files. But I don’t know what they are and I’m hesitant to delete them. So I renamed the \hosts file. Now I can’t log onto incomming mail server when running the test.
Thanks for any guidance you can provide. KR
Post post note. I re-entered the information and now I do not have the prompt for the password happening. Looks like I keyed it incorrectly when I redid it before…but I do still have a problem with the data going to the inbox instead of separate folders still. In addition, every email that was in my Horde account for that Outlook account is getting resent to my inbox. 🙁 more work.
