Hi - I just posted a similar issue, except that mine is
keeping other users in my house from getting email at all -
any news on this topic? Thanks.
************************
I just got a new Dell computer - running Windows XP and
Microsoft Outlook 2003. I have 3 user profiles set up on
Windows - one for each member of my family. Thus I set up
3 email accounts - each one with its own email profile
using our ISP: ameritech.net. I am using a DSL
connection I got from Ameritech.
My own email account works fine - it connects and sends
and receives. However - for the other 2 email accounts, no
matter how I configure them I cannot get it to
send/receive - I get a dialogue box that prompts for a
network ID and password.
I have no network set up, and there is no password or lack
thereof that it will seem to accept. So neither of the
other 2 Outlook accounts set up on this computer will send
or recieve becasue they are blocked by this inane message.
I have found that people are having similar but no
identiacal problems
(see
http://www.newmediamusings.com/blog/2003/02/outlooks_demand
.html,
and Microsoft's own
http://office.microsoft.com/assistance/preview.aspx?
AssetID=HA011142741033&CTT=4&Origin=CH010422611033
and http://support.microsoft.com/?id=290684
These describe more of a situation where a password is not
retained and/or there really are duplicate accouts set up
on one machine - however my problem is that there never
was a password, and the accouts are not duplicates.
I have contacted Ameritech and they had me delete and add
the email acccounts (which I had already done before I
even called them - duh,and then they told me the problem
was with Outlook and that only Microsoft could help. But
I am not finding any help at Microsoft!!
