Dave, How do I get Outlook to stop asking me for my network password every time I send an email? I just hooked up SBC Yahoo DSL. I finally was able to get emails to send out, but now this window keeps popping up. What’s the trick to solve this problem? I’ve been in that sort of situation, so I can commiserate. Fortunately, it’s not too hard to fix if you’re running Microsoft Outlook 2000 / Outlook XP. Here are the steps you’ll need to take:.
Thanks to an answer on the Google product forums, I found out that there is indeed a fix. First, open Chrome and go to Settings (chrome://settings/). Now, underneath the “Account sign-in details are out of date” message, you have to click “Disconnect your Google Account”. Once your account is disconnected, close Chrome and open it again. Don’t remember my password for my google account. It keeps telling me that I already have an - Answered by a verified Mac Support Specialist. Ask Mac Questions and Get Answers from Experts ASAP. My Apple ID is not being accepted and any recent passwords are not bring accepted so I can reset password—my phone keeps.
Select Tools - E-mail Accounts menu option. (depending on your version of Outlook this option might be found under Tools - Options - Mail Setup tab - E-mail Accounts button). The “View or change existing e-mail accounts” item should be already selected. Click “Next”. Select the account you want to modify and click “Change”.
In the next screen, click “Remember password” in the “Logon Information” section in the lower left corner. Then click “Next” or “OK” as necessary to confirm. That should be all that’s required for your copy of Microsoft Outlook to forevermore remember your password and let you use your new SBC Yahoo account without any fuss or hassles. Over 12 years we had the same issue, perhaps once or twice a year – first as Comcast customers then with AT&T. They tell you it’s not their problem but with Outlook. They have you reset your password at AT&T or Comcast website then go in to Outlook Tools/Account Settings and click on your email and use the same pass. But it does not fix the problem.
In the past, we’d keep trying new techs until someone fixed it at Comcast or AT&T. The issue happened again this morning and AT&T said it was Outlook not them. They wanted to charge us $180 to have a specialist resolve since it was beyond AT&T and was a so called Outlook problem. As we yelled more dropped to $49.

We accepted the charge but what the new tech did was go to att.net, click into Member Center (rather than PLease sign in here), I entred the user/pass at that logon screen instead. That fixed the problem! I’m guessing that when we had Comcast someone did the same on their end – thus resetting our password, correcting the 530 authenticity error. So if you have AT&T and see in details that it’s a 530 auth error with yahoo, try changing your pass at att.net and then logon to MEMBER CENTER which should unblock your email. (Your Outlook and AT&T pass may have to match.) I wonder if it’s a dirty trick by AT&T so they get people signed on to their service unnecessarily. It is not an Outlook software problem.
We kept telling them such but got sucked in to the charge which we will fight.
I'm not sure if this is the right section, but here goes. I have an iPhone 5S and my Mail App seems a bit temperamental. More often than not, I'll open the App, and this will pop up: I then type in the password, only for it to pop up with the exact same thing again, straight away.
This usually happens for about 3-4 password entries, and then finally, it eventually logs me in and my inbox is refreshed/updated. When it's actually logged in, I do get email notifications, but I am not getting emails, due to it 'logging out' by itself all the time.
To check my mail, I actually have to open the App up and go through the password hassle nearly every time. Very rarely does it stay logged in.
Any ideas as to how I can fix this and keep my Mail App logged in all the time? Let me guess. Are you using gmail with exchange on your iPhone, which you have only just upgraded from an older iPhone purchased prior to 2013?
If so, that's probably the issue. Google disabled imap-push for gmail since the start of this year, making it incompatible with exchange. That's why you keep getting prompted on your iPhone. There are a few solutions, but none of them are pretty. You can either 1) create a new gmail account using the 'google option' and enable fetch (which is slower and presumably drains battery faster) 2) Use a mail app which does support push (gmail or mailbox come to mind, but they don't support non-gmail accounts 3) Switch all your gmail accounts to iCloud mail 4) Pay for a google account (which I think restores push). My workplace uses gmail, and interesting enough, it still allows for push email but not for my own personal gmail account.
Hope this helps. Let me guess.

Hope this helps.If it were gmail and exchange, it would never log him in and refresh his email. It would continously prompt for his password. Paying for a google account would mean also buying a domain and using it on google apps. Again, we would need the specific email service to begin troubleshooting.
