JEEPEE'S SOLUTION DID >>NOT<< WORK FOR ME.

I started having the message popup problem back when I was running XP and Outlook 2002.

Now, I have a new computer, running Win7, MS Office Outlook 2007, and no router.

Today the message started appearing again so I followed Jeepee's excellent instructions, then rebooted.

The popup is back.

And, yes, the "Remember password" box has been checked on all of my email accounts, like, 4ever, dude. LOL

[continuing the previous message]

And, not only: JEEPEE'S SOLUTION DID >>NOT<< WORK FOR ME.

It killed my Adobe Reader so that I could access any of my PDF files.

Every time I opened a PDF file, I got the this message and the program was terminated.

===============================================
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
Program: c\Program Files(x86)\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcoRd32.exe
This application has requestged the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support tem for more information.
===============================================

I had to put the "%USERPROFILE%\Application Data", that was suggested by Jeepee, back to it's original state of
"%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming" in order to open any of my PDF documents.

The previous message was supposed to say:

It killed my Adobe Reader so that I could NOT access any of my PDF files.

[sorry for the typo]

Hi Guys, The JEEPEE Registry Edit solution really does work! I had this blasted problem for a couple of weeks and drove me crazy. Sat down today and worked through the solution step by step - Bingo I am back in business.

JEEPEE Many thanks.

I had this issue hours ago. it happened when I change my password. Did a lot of google but nothing help. Lately I discovered that the password length was the caused. So verify that your password length and character is supported by your web mail or any. I am using live.com and it seems that the password length is limited only to 16 characters. Hope this help.

Dave - I recently read your post about the Network Password dialogue box that keeps popping up. I read your instructions for "Tools"; my Remember Password box is checked but it still keeps popping up.

Is there something else I can do?

I'm running Office XP on Windows 7 but am still getting the repeated requests for my user name and password.

I'm just wondering if the registry edit of AppData to the %USERPROFILE%\Application Data will work on Windows 7?

Also wondering if they are any side effects from using this edit i.e. othe programs are affected.

Can anyone help please. TIA.

I tried following your directions to get Outlook to stop asking for a password for POP3 & STML but I must have a later version than your directions addressed. Mine is Outlook7; so I never got a screen that would allow me to click "change" Or "remember password"

I just had this problem and I was looking for any suggestions on the net on how to fix it, it was bugging the crap out of me, every 3 mins I would get a popup. I was a little worried someone might have stolen my password and changed it on me so instead of trying to log into gmail thru Outlook 2007 I logged into gmail thru google to check if my password still worked. I got into my mailbox and seen there was a yellow highlighted note from google on top wanting me to click confirm if certain info was correct on my account, I hit confirm and logged out. As soon as I did outlook started delivering my messages to me and the "enter network password" pop up went away and hasn't came back on since. pretty cool huh =)

I thought I would share this, I usually dont blog but I wanted to contribute back to the awesome members of this community, Hope this helps someone =)

Hi Dave: I just made a cardinal error. didn't back up my registry but likely no damage done. as soon as I got to "Now choose Edit » New » Expandable String Value
6. Enter "AppData" as a name" I saw that I already had an "AppData" value so I deleted that new value and closed regedit. Hopefully I didn't cause more registry problems but my question is, do I add the AppData when I already have an entry of the same name in "user shell folders"?

Hi,I did the registry fix but does not work for me. I have Win-7 Enterprise & OL-2007. I deleted the profile and created a new one. Carried out MS instructions with expected results. Still no solution. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!

FIX!!! – If this didn’t work for you this might help.

After messing with this problem for days! I finally figured it out.

Under Mail Folders on the left panel, you should only have “Mailbox” if you have anything else like a SharePoint server or archive messages, delete those.

Problem solved! You are welcome!

David - I do not understand where you are saying to go when you said Mail Folders on the left panel. Can you please be more specific, Thanks.

My case was that on the left where you see your inbox I had more folders trying to sync. Say if you have an archive folder or some other folder that is trying to sync.

In other words make sure only your mailbox(your email) is the only thing trying to sync.

Thanks a lot JeePee. You really rock mate. It worked straight forward. Thanks for a long pending issue in my company.

hey im struggling setting up ms outlook on my asus - vista laptop....i'm a computer retard, so any help is high appreciated. step by step. I've done a bit research, yet i cant find to solve my pros. I'm using a free internet thru wifi, so i have no idea what the password for ISP. im getting really frustrated!!

The solution posted by Jerry (below) worked for me. I was too afraid to change anything in my registry and thought I'd try this solution first. It seems to have worked!! No pop-up!

>> I was following the directions given in the article, but I also had remember password already checked. However I went to Tools>Email Accounts, selected the change button, selected more settings, outgoing server tab, and then checked off "use same settings as my incoming mail server". Click next and finished. I have not seen that message since. I would like to know if this works for anyone else.

I'm not to sure about the more complex methods but this one worked

for Ms 2003 XP --- go into outlook tools, email accounts-delete the existing account and then re-enter it exactly the same ( be sure to check all the variables and set them up exactly the same )

worked for me

Help Outlook keeps flaggin up with enter network paasword for smtp server and pop server HELP!

@ Bryan Milham (who posted a solution on January 2, 2009 5:50 PM):

Thank you very much, Bryan!! Your solution worked great! And easy too. But couldn't figure out what h* Captcha is though...

XP and Outlook 2007

I tried all (I mean ALL) the solucions nothing seemed to work. Then I noticed that if I click Send and Receive too quick (about 10 sec apart one click from another) I had the error. But if I gave it about 1 min before clicking the second time.... voula!! no error...

So my conclution is: maybe one of the methods worked (don´t know wich one) but the problem persist if you click send and receive "too fast". So be pacient, "don´t worry be happy"... and the problem solved. THAX

Dave,

I have it set up so my gmail shoots into microsoft outlook. I have never touched anything and it has been that way for the last 8 years. Out of nowhere it stops and now I cannot connect the two again. I am not computer savvy but a friend checked my configurations and compared it to his and they are exact. His works and mine doesnt! What the heck! I also get those messages asking for password cause it was changed! I read how to stop it and will try that tomorrow. I swear this computer does things when I am sleeping, please help! Nancy

My all company braches are using our email accounts made on our website server.

I have a branch of my company working in Uganda, There are three pcs working perfectly but all of sudden all pcs are asking for outlook mail password. but at the same time in head office all mails are working fine.

I am assuming that it is surely the problem of ISP but i need your suggestions

What could be wrong?

Setting up MS Outlook 07 - Exchange but should be POP, now locked

Please help,

I mistakenly started to set up MS Outlook 07 as an Exchange email server for godaddy. It's not, it's a POP account. I tried to reverse that, uninstalled the full MS Office, and still am locked out until I complete set up as an exchange server (which I can't because I'm not). Is there something in regedit I should delete? I just want to set up as a pop account that goes to my outlook.

All, i solved the password popup along the lines of "ryanhamze" above (using Win7 32bit Ultimate, Outlook 2010). I found no need to disable all COM addins: from the 8 activated addins i disabled the two sharepoint (server and workspace) addins, and that solved it. Hope this helps, brgds, Willem

I had the same pop-ups happening...I am running MS Outlook 2010 on Vista...I went into the account settings section checked each one of my email accounts listed there and found almost everyone did not have a password. So I entered the passwords, hit apply and everything has worked fine since...
Hope this helps someone....

A not so common problem can occur when trying to access your Google Apps email account with Outlook or similar email client using POP or IMAP. When a user makes too many unsuccessful attempts to access an email account using POP or IMAP, Google may consider the account as being attacked or about to be compromised.
When this happens, Google Apps users may not be able to send mail using their email client. To fix the problem, Google suggests “Unlocking the CAPTCHA.”

https://www.google.com/accounts/UnlockCaptcha

or

http://www.google.com/a/your_domain.com/UnlockCaptcha

Obviously you need to replace “your_domain.com” with your actual domain name.

I am running Windows 7 64 bit and Outlook office 2007. On the tab Change E-mail account under logon information I can only fill in the user name and have no possibility to fill in a password and can't check the Remember password box.

After I start outlook and click send/receive the mailserver asks me for the password. After I have typed the password 5 times for my 5 e-mail accounts I can click send/receive for the rest of the day without outlook prompting me for a password.
From the moment I shut down Outlook and restart I have to fill in again the pasword when I click send/receive.

On another stattion with Vista Ultimate in combo with outlook 2007 I don't have these hassles.

Can anyone tell me how i can get the Remember password box checkable and the pasword box activated.

Starting outlook in save mode via outlook.exe /safe solves the problem and makes the password box checkable and activate the pasword box.
Only this is now sollution as I can't stay working all the time in safe mode.

Dear All,
u have any problem outlook, os ,network etc
u can cont. with me

Outlook 2010 Issue
In outlook 2010, when you add more than one account( Exchange Account ), you will be asked for password each time you start your computer and open outlook.

We need to force outlook to save password for all outlook accounts.

Kindly Advise, Please

Howdy!

i tried everything listed here and all to no avail.

I went to the help for Outlook (I have 2003) and followed directions for setting up a new "pst" folder - making it the primary one and lastly, adding the old one so i can access contents.

I had to redo all the email accounts, etc. and found myself with two pst folders holding all my emails and settings, but it worked. I will just use the old one whenever I need to search for something.

Try installing Exchange Server's latest service pack and it should solve the problem automatically.

Hi All,

In my company also facing the same issue with one user,who joned newly.that user usring Win7 prof and Outlook2007.whenever click send/recive tab it prompting network password window 3 r 4 times.i tried all the porcedures mentioned before.still problem not resolved.plz help me some one

My OE account just started asking me to confirm a delete when i delete an email. Its very enoying. Please Help?

I tried JeePee and it worked.

The only thing that I'm not sure about is that I the AppData file was already there so I just added the data name. I hope this doesn't cause problems!
Was I supposed to add another one with that name? because the my computer didn't let me. It said "you can't make another one, you already have a registry with that name." or something to that effect.

Anyway, this fix worked WONDERFULLY (so easy too) and hope it stays that way!

Hi there!
I have had this problem after moving from XP to Win 7 using Office Outlook 2007... Problem was easily solved by making sure the correct information was entered in: "Log on Information" with the 'User Name and Password' and ticking 'remember password' box... so simple really...

Thank you Pee Jee! I am not sure how you came up with this solution but it worked for me.

I had the problem of the password prompting, right after I upgraded my XP machine from Office 2000 to Office 2007. The problem may have occured because there may have not been a solid uprgade path between the 2 versions of the software.

It would be nice to know what brought it on but for now I am simply glad its fixed.

JeePee,
Your post did not work for me. I use Win 7 64-bit. When I go to the registry as instructed and try to create a New Expandable String with the name AppData, it will not save as AppData since I already have an AppData as a Key name. It just calls the new one New String #1 or something like that. I coud leave it named as that and enter a Value of ApplicationData, but I don't think that would make any difference. Am I making sense?

JeePee Still saving Outlook users after all these years!

I have Windows 7 and Outlook 2010 and I have this window that always pops up 10 or 15 times a day. It is the Internet E-mail window. I have 3 different emails and every time it pops up, all the info is already typed in for me (server, user name, password). I then check the "save this password" box , hit "OK" and then close. But all 3 emails keep popping up numerous times a day. I checked with Comcast and all my settings ar OK. I have my security setting on default (med-high)What can I do or try to solve this constant pop up box??

took about 20 mins for me to figure this one and it was completely my own fault for copy and pasting the address from a website-

I had forgotten to remove the apostrophes eg 'example@example.com'

sent straight away after!

Here is how I fixed my Outlook 2007 "Enter Network Password" problem in Windows 7.
1.Goto Control Panel.
2. Select Mail (or) Mail (32-bit) Icon
3. Select "Email Accounts" button and remember the location of your personal folders .pst file ( very last line)
4. Select Close
5. Select "Show Profiles" Button.
6. Select the Account that is having the problem.
7. Select/click the Remove button and hit OK.
8. Start the Mail (or) Mail (32-bit) Icon again from Control Panel.
9. Select the "Show Profiles" Button.
10. Select "Add" and type the new name/email login information/account settings/etc. and hit OK.
11. Open up outlook. You should see it working correctly now. Outlook automatically generates a new .pst file.
12. Inside Outlook, go under Tools/"Account Settings" and select the "Data Files" tab. Click on the "Add" button and select the personal folder that you originally took note of in step 3 above, and hit ok.
13. Select the file you just generated and then click the "Set as Default" button. Select OK and return to the Outlook Inbox.
14. Select all your newly generated emails inside the Inbox and move them over to the new Personal Folders Inbox.
15. Close down outlook.
16. Open the file explorer window and delete the .pst folder that Outlook generated.
17. Reopen Outlook...it should give you an error. Select your original .pst file to replace what it's requesting.
18. Voila! You should be good to go.

This worked for me. I have three selectable email accounts that I can select from when opening Outlook. I've had the "Network Password" problem occurrence on one account, and then for the another account at a later time. I believe that Outlook messes up with the .pst file occasionally. The first time I had the problem, I took another route by completely removing my antivirus software (Eset Smart Security) and then re-installing it. It fixed the problem as well.

Best of luck to everyone experiencing the problem. I thought I would share my experience.

I found another fix. The registry fix didn't work for me. After returning the registry to it's original state, I put the MS Office installation disks in the CD drive. When I was asked what I wanted to do , I clicked "repair". After about 10 minutes plus a restart, everything worked fine. Outlook didn't ask me for passwords any more. What a relief!

Dave everytime l try to connect to my school website it asks me for my credentials and l have no idea what they are. Help me, please.

Sarah, most likely that's some sort of firewall that your school has set up so that you can't get to sites like MySpace from on campus. That's what you're asking about, right? :)

just creat a new usr profile and problem is solw try it friends .......... thnks so much your quary is good and my ans is best

Jee Pee, your registry fix worked (with windows XP) - thx very much

I tried all the Microsft standard solutions but failed. JayPee's regsitry fix worked for me, I have Outlook 2010 running on Windows7. JayPee deserves a medal for services to humanity.

Having the same prob as everybody else and and tried Jee Pee's solution and it didn't work for me as my AppData registry key was still there.
Asif's solution worked perfectly and instantly by unlocking Captcha (thanks mate). Here the website again.

you the man!

Just tried it at work here,

Works like a charm,

Over 12 years we had the same issue, perhaps once or twice a year - first as Comcast customers then with AT&T. They tell you it's not their problem but with Outlook. They have you reset your password at AT&T or Comcast website then go in to Outlook Tools/Account Settings and click on your email and use the same pass. But it does not fix the problem. In the past, we'd keep trying new techs until someone fixed it at Comcast or AT&T. The issue happened again this morning and AT&T said it was Outlook not them. They wanted to charge us $180 to have a specialist resolve since it was beyond AT&T and was a so called Outlook problem. As we yelled more dropped to $49. We accepted the charge but what the new tech did was go to att.net, click into Member Center (rather than PLease sign in here), I entred the user/pass at that logon screen instead. That fixed the problem! I'm guessing that when we had Comcast someone did the same on their end - thus resetting our password, correcting the 530 authenticity error. So if you have AT&T and see in details that it's a 530 auth error with yahoo, try changing your pass at att.net and then logon to MEMBER CENTER which should unblock your email. (Your Outlook and AT&T pass may have to match.) I wonder if it's a dirty trick by AT&T so they get people signed on to their service unnecessarily. It is not an Outlook software problem. We kept telling them such but got sucked in to the charge which we will fight.

If you recently had to change your password, make sure that you change it in Yahoo Messenger as well or you will have this problem of WLM continually asking you for the password and you will get locked out.

I just changed my password in Yahoo Messenger and now WLM is working fine.

Outlook 2010 suddenly, for no known reason, keeps asking me for my user name and password for the following server... gives the smtp, user name, password, etc, but no matter whether i say OK or Cancel, it will not go away... Outlook not working. I tried your answer to this by going to the tools... change email and save password was already checked... when i clicked next, i got the very same window asking for user name and password. Help :)

Hi Dave,

Please assist as when i click on send/receive network password popup,i click ok but it still popups.click the save box, still does the same thing.....

Can you help as now i cnt view my emails.....

Thank you ryanhamze from Sept 3, 2010!

For years, my outlook would be behaving just fine, then suddenly I would start getting un-ending pop-ops asking me for my gmail password. Wouldn't stop until I cycled power. Really annoying. Sometimes it would happen daily, sometimes a week would go by with no problems.

I used the Trust Center to disable some Outlook add-ins that I never use, including Sonexis, Sharepoint, and Evernote. Problem solved!

I tried all these and then realised that i just needed to verify my password with Yahoo by logging in ONCE through their webmail before it would treat my NEW PASSWORD as verified!
