Default Outlook 2007 "Enter network password" prompt

Try creating a new Outlook profile. In addition to losing saved data,
importing a .PST file very often hoses the Outlook profile. Create a new
profile, then connect it to your old .PST file using 'File|Open|Outlook Data
File'.

Reconnect your old Outlook data file

FYI, importing a .PST loses the following information:

1. Custom Forms
2. Custom Views
3. Connections between contacts and activities
4. Received dates on mail
5. Birthdays and anniversaries in calendar
6. Journal connections
7. Distribution Lists

I have recently installed Office 2007 on my new laptop running Windows

Vista.
I imported mail and contacts to Outlook from my old laptop which had

Office
2003 and Windows Vista.

When i try to add my POP3 mail account to my new Outlook it continuously
asks me to enter the account password, even though i try to save the
password. This prohibits me from downloading mails.

I have tried to create a new pst data file in case the import damaged or
corrupted the existing file, but with no effect. I have another POP3 mail
account on another domain, and that account works fine. When i try to use

my
problem account in Windows Mail it too works fine!!

I'm all out of ideas. Can anybody help me here, thanks.
