Outlook constantly asking for email password

Thanks for the reply.  This is not a new problem and I have thoroughly checked the creds. 

Also, this is intermittent.  It does not happen all the time.  If the creds were wrong they would never work. 

The timeout in send / receive is pretty generous too...I think I have it set for 1:30.

It happens with each of the 5 accounts.  Not every account is affected every time...but no account seems to be immune.

  Also happens with my wife's Outlook and she only has 2 accounts. 

If anything, it is annoying.  Not really a big deal but I'm taking another shot at figuring this out.

Could be a registry problem with Outlook. To make sure its not a issue with the server, maybe try Thunderbird, or some other email client and see if the problem persists. 

Also, do you use IMAP or POP3 for the email type? 

Last, what version of Outlook do you have?

POP3 and Outlook 2013 via Office 365. 

Maybe i'll try a repair. 

Actually I re-read your second post and noticed you said your wife was having the same problem, is that on the same computer or different computer?  

On top of the repair, Microsoft also has a .PST repair tool. See here.

2 computers

If its 2 computers, then it is some what unlikely its a outlook/PC problem. Those tools can't hurt but I don't think it will fix the problem. Do the 2 computers share the same Anti-virus? 

Also, is  there anything you can do to force the problem to occur? For instance, rebooting the PC or closing and re-opening Outlook? 

No I can't force the problem.  It just 'happens'. 

AV is MS security essentials, SuperAntispyware, and CCleaner.  All 3 processes are running.

With that many accounts configured I wonder if there is a little confusion going on with the setup.  I'd suggest checking the account settings in Outlook for each account and making sure the username and password for each account matches to the corresponding email address the account is setup for.  Also make sure that the username does not have "@cox.net" on the end of it.

Yeah....it can be annoying. 

I am ChrisP and bizaddy.  I guess I have 2 logins.

I agree with previous post.  This has been happening on Cox for several months, forums are full of these complaints yet the answer is always that it must be the users issue.  More of an annoyance than anything but I have to close outlook to get it to go away.  I am a network engineer with more certs than I can count.  Problem is at Cox.  Getting old...

Greeted with it this morning and it's popping like a groundhog during an earthquake. 

Maybe we can make this the longest thread in history!  fun for everyone! 

I have had the same problem for months. Also at 6-9am, 11-1pm and 4-7 pm I am getting dial up speeds. It is taking 4 minutes to load this page. I've had cox techs out 3 times. Can't find any problem.  The node is overloaded with people streaming video.Ironically I just got an email from cox-What are you going to do with all the extra speed cox is giving you? Why I am going to have my state senator come over to see how great the extra speed is helping for the extra money cox keeps getting.
