Yes, SAV.

But, the timeouts don't occur regularly, only occasionally, which is why
it's a pain! If it was happening all the time, I'd bite the bullet I'd
forward the mail rather than poping - but that option comes with it's own
limitations.

Hoping that someone has a solution for this.

I'm running Outlook 2007 connected to an Exchange server. I'm also
poping several other accounts. Occasionally, one of the POP servers
times out and I get a message asking me to type in my access credentials
(which aren't actually needed as they're already there). I've extended
the server timeout on the culprit account and so help alleviate the
problem.

The thing is, if I'm not at my computer to resubmit the credentials
manually when I receive a server timeout popup, the mail for that account
will go unchecked. Not a big deal if it happens over night, but if I'm
out of town for an extended period and checking my mail remotely (with
the exchange web client or on my phone which is synced to my workstation)
I don't get any mail from that account. Not sure why MS set this
behavior. It would have made more sense for Outlook try to access the
account for a while, then after the timeout limit is past, stop checking
and start re-check at the next scheduled interval.

Is there another way around this? Thanks or any suggestions.
