Question
Hello All, (I had orignally posted this in the wrong forum, and I believe this would be the correct one, sorry for the double post..............) I'm encountering an annoying issue that just started happening with the transition of my internet provider changing from Comcast to TimeWarner. Whenever I open Outlook Express, enter my passoword, and press enter, it frequently kicks back the (user name/password box), as if it didn't read the password properly, even though I entered it correctly. Then, it says "authorizing" in the lower right-hand corner of the Outlook Express window, and just sits there doing nothing, saying "authorizing". I then have to press enter several times, hit stop sending, then enter, then stop, then enter, then stop, all the while it says "authorizing". Finally I get lucky and it will send/recieve. I called my Internet Provider (Time Warner now) and they said it's an issue with Outlook Express, not with them. I thought since it keeps saying "authorizing" it was an ISP issue, they say "nope", its an Outlook Express issue. This just started happening after Comcast was bought out by TimeWarner, and I had to reconfigure my OE account properties to match TimeWarner's info POP/SMTP etc etc...... This issues occurs about every three of four attempts when I log-on to Outlook Express. The one out of four times, everything goes through as it's supposed to after I enter my password. It's a pain, and I know it's not supposed be this way. Any suggestions? Thanks for the support, Robert 11/30/06 at 2:36pm PST |

Hi Robert,
Just a guess here, but I'd look at the setting for send/receive at startup in Tools | Options, General tab. If this is selected try deselecting it. -- Tim K. aka Kuay Tim MS-MVP - Outlook Express Lynnwood, WA * "Robert" wrote in message ...

Hello Tim,
Thanks for your response, however I always have that option "deselected". Any other ideas that might think of are appreciated?
