group I know of ...
I'm getting some aberrant behaviour from MS Outlook2002 - lately it's been
popping up the invalid password dialog box when I collect mail, but if I
just click "OK" it goes away and gets the mail. Next time I collect mail,
it'll be another account that's supposedly refusing the login, but entering
the password again, clicking the "remember password" box and it goes and
gets the mail. Then again a few times later, the same thing, so it hasn't
remembered the password or it's sending the wrong info to the mail server.
I thought for a while it was a problem at the mail server, but I could
collect mail using Outlook Express without problems, and I know the
passwords were ok because I can log in using the web based mail client
without problems ever. And other people have been able to use Outlook to
access my account without any problems too.
So I think I have a corruption in MS Outlook somewhere. I reinstalled
Outlook, using the "repair" option but that didn't make any difference.
So here's the question ...
Has anyone else had this behaviour? I assume it's probably caused by one of
the many virus attacks I get each day.
Does anyone know where Outlook keeps the passwords and email account info?
Is it encrypted in the registry? (Wondering how far the corruption goes -
just Outlook or perhaps it's a wider issue).
Any ideas anyone?
