Microsoft Outlook

2. You keep on receiving a pop-up message saying: Enter Network Password

You may also receive this message although you may have never set a network password.

 

Step1: first verify all account information and preferences (smtp, imap, username, password, etc.)

Step2: disable any third-party firewalls such as Norton Internet Security and try again.

Step3: click start => run => type: regedit and press enter => Locate and expand the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Protected Storage System Provider

=> delete all subfolders of this key => exit the windows registry

=> start MS outlook => tools => Mail Accounts => select your account => servers tab => re-enter password => ok => restart Outlook. The problem should be gone.

Step4: If problem persists please see: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290684
