Outlook XP Passwords

Hi,

Having trouble with outlook 2002 (XP) on my Win XP Pro laptop.

On Outlook, It is set to check my mail every 2 minutes, which is fine, however, for 2 of my accounts, it prompts me for my passwords all the time, however with the others, it does it without asking. I have checked the 'Add password to my password list' box and 'Remember password' box in the account config but it still won't stop asking me.

The mail is SMTP and POP3. I am running Windows XP Professional with Office XP Professional.

As far as I can see, the settings for all accounts are the same (well, most of it

). Also, If i leave the box (don't click anything) it still seems to check the mail...

Hope someone can help,
computer
