Except for creating a new mail profile, I'm out of suggestions. Sorry.

I, too have tried KB 290684 withiout success, and have tried deleting
the profile and setting it up again, and it still doesn't work. The
irony is that if you define the user name and password and then use
O2003's Test button, everything's fine. But when you go to use the
account in the normal way, the password has been forgotten again.
Looking at the POP3 logs, it's clear that O2003 sends a wrong (or
blank) password BEFORE prompting for a correct one, so it knows that
one has been saved.

The only way I can reduce the agony of repeatedly the POP3 password is
by increasing the interval between scheduled checks for mail.

Clearly this problem is not experienced by everyone, or it would have
been fixed. Nevertheless, I have seen other reports of this problem,
enough for it to deserve attention by Microsoft. If necessary, I can
offer logs to someone who could fix it.
