(Answer) (Category) Accessing Services at OA5 / YASK / Irial : (Category) My Email : (Answer) Why does Outlook [Express] keep asking for my password?
There are 2 possibilities

1 Your password is wrong

2 Your mailer is hammering at the mail server, and the server is throwing you off to make way for more reasonable users.

The mailbox server is configured to throw off users who reconnect unreasonably fast -- We recommend you set your system to check for new mail at between 15 and 60 minute intervals. If you set for every 2 minutes, your mailer is quite likely to lock up fetching the next message, while you're still reading your last message. The minimum check period you should set is 3 minutes.

There is an interesting aside to this, If you hit the "send and receive" button, and get the error message rather than successfully checking your mail, then you need to wait at least 2 minutes from when you get the error not from when your mail check last succeeded, so if your like me - make a coffee it takes more than 2 minutes and stops you pressing the send and check button every 119 seconds :-)
