Default Outlook Stops with Prompt for Password that is saved and correct

I'm using Outlook 2007 (this also happened on 2003) on a Windows XP
Home system. My system is connected to the Internet using cable modem
going through a Belkin Pre-N router.

I have Outlook configured to check several pop3 email accounts every
11 minutes.

The Problem:
Several times a day, I'll check my machine and see that there's an
Outlook window displayed asking for the password to one of my pop3
accounts with a check box to save the password.
These passwords are already saved and they work, for example, if I hit
cancel and the Send and Receive all of the accounts are checked
successfully. And they have worked many other times during the day
before this intermittent issue.

Now, this is a problem because, while this message box is open,
Outlook will not Send / Receive any of my other accounts. This poses
a problem because my accounts can fill up if they aren't
checked by Outlook on a regular basis; not to mention I'm not getting
business e-mails in a timely manner.

I realize this is ultimately my ISPs issue because they are kicking
back an issue with the password falsely but Outlook should handle this
better.

My question:
Is there a way to configure Outlook, such that if it fails to log into
an account, simply ignore it and go on, and check it again as normal
the next scheduled time (eg. 15 minutes later)? Or any other
solution to stop this pop-up box from essentially stopping Outlook
from continuing to send/receive as it should?
