If you are using Outlook 2000, turn off Secure Password Authentication. Go to control panel and click on the mail icon, go to the properties of the internet account, on the servers tab clear the "Log on using Secure Password Authentication" check box. Close and restart Outlook and you should be fine. If you are using NT and Outlook Express then to work around this problem, enable Windows NT Challenge/Response authentication on the server for clients that want to use Secure Password Authentication, or use the "Log on using" option in Outlook Express.

Hope this helps.
