I'm running XP with all updates and IE 8. I'm trying to use Outlook 2007 for my email accounts which are through my ISP Qwest DSL account,so are, as I understand it, basically Windows Live accounts. I have talked with Qwest and they have given me some pop3 account settings but they say it's not really supported to do it that way. I like to use it as a pop3 format because then I get the notification message and sound when new emails come in but if I use the Outlook Connector then no notifications are available as I understand it. Problems I have encountered include very persistant pop up windows asking for network password when Outlook tries to check for email. I have it check every couple of minutes and sometimes I can go a half hour or so but other times just a couple of minutes and it again pops up for the network password box with the pop3.live.com and the password already filled in but unless you manually check "OK" it stalls at that stage. I check the box for saving the password but it keeps popping up. I don't know why it has started doing that. Another problem with Outlook is that I have to go to options everytime I open it and I have to manually check the boxes for the notifications to be turned on again...it won't keep the boxes checked by default. If Outlook can't be fixed, is there any way to get notification on the screen that email has arrived when using Windows Live web page as my email? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.1 person needs an answerI do too
