Default Ye Olde Network Password problem

I see a lot of posts about this subject, and have tried many solutions from
them, but nothing works for me. I'm running Outlook 2003 on a Windows XP-Pro
machine, using several different POP3 email accounts. On a very frequent
basis, I keep getting that little message window come up that asks me to
enter my Network Password. The thing is, it already has the correct password.
So I click the option that says to Save Password (which is already selected
in my settings) and click OK and it goes through. But it doesn't retain it
and I get the same message again for the same account or a different one,
anywhere from seconds later to days later (I have Outlook set up to check
automatically for email every 2 minutes).

The email account that comes up will vary, and how often this happens also
varies from every couple of days to dozens of times a day. There doesn't seem
to be any rhyme or reason to why or when it does this. I've tried following
the instructions on this page
(http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;290684) but it
didn't change anything. I also tried changing the security settings to log me
in automatically (can't remember off-hand where that was, but I got the idea
from one of the discussions here in the forums), but it didn't change
anything either.

It started doing this after I upgraded from Office 2000 to Office 2003 in
December 2005, and it transferred my email accounts into the new version. So,
thinking it might be an upgrade problem, I tried creating a new email account
from scratch in Outlook 2003, but it still does it.

This is driving me nuts! Could someone please help me with this? Thank you.
