Outlook 2007 password "Grayed" POP3 box

I'm trying to set up my Outlook 2007 installation to retrieve mail from my POP3 account.  On the "Change E-mail account" window I am unable to enter the POP3 password due to the area being inaccessible.

A couple of notes:
1. Windows XP SP3.
2. I have the correct information for the account.
3. the machine user account that I am connected machine is in the Group admininstrators.
4. when I send/receive I get invited to my password (obviously).
5. can I access the password field by going to 'Setup\Send\Receive\Edit\Account of Tools\Options\Mail properties'.  This will work, but only for the current Outlook session.  When I restart I'm back to not having a password stored.
6. when I go into Outlook in Mode safe, I can access the password field on the window 'change E-mail account '.

I had the same problem, I managed to solve it by changing the following value DWORD "EnableRememberPwd" value between 0 and 1 under the registry key:

HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook\Security

I hope this helps.

  • "Enter network password" popup will not stop appearing, how to stop this? Outlook 2007 audit has aol.

    OK, I know that this question was asked before here and other places, but I tried a lot of things and still cannot get him to stop.

    I use Outlook 2007 to access my aol e-mail account. Until recently it has been works well with none or very few problems. All of a sudden this week, the window 'Enter network password' guard chronically arise with all fields filled already, but you will need to click ok to remove. This happens once in a blue moon in the past, maybe once every 3 weeks to a month and then happen not for awhile. But from this week, it occurs once every 5 minutes about an hour every day. (Has happened twice since I started typing this so far.) This is incredibly annoying doesn't even begin to describe. For more far to annoy me, I have a rule to configure in Outlook where some emails get sent to my work address while I'm not home and when this box appears here at home while I'm at work, nothing doesn't get passed, nothing happens anywhere because I'm not here to click ok in the darn box!
    OK, to cut to the Chase, I have Windows XP with Outlook 2007 here, and I checked my aol email. All parameters have been controlled and tested and is exactly the same as when it was working fine. Other things that can help to know, I have McAfee Antivirus on the computer and the router wireless Belkin F5D8235-4 low. I had McAfee antivirus for many years without any problems and I got the router hooked ever since November 2009 with no problems until now that is.
    Here is what I tried so far, all have not helped at all: (I thought that I would tell you which has been tried and didn't work, so we don't waste time on them).
    1 has created a new Outlook profile. Did not stop the pop ups.
    2 Ran Outlook in safe mode for non-Microsoft services would not be executed. Did not stop the pop ups.
    3. saved registry and the information of the user account deleted from the options of password subkey, and then reinstated "Protected Storage System Provider. Did not stop the pop ups.
    4. disabled in McAfee messaging protection. Did not stop the pop ups. (Just got a new one! Ugh.)
    5 Rebooted/Restarted router. Did not stop the pop ups.
    I'm currently at the "I got Nothin'" point about what should be judged then.
    Anyone has any idea what this might be outside what I already tried?
    I am altogether strung here and it drives me crazy. Anyone have any ideas?
    Jim.

    Update for me.
    Because I changed my e-mail verification of the intervals of 5-10 minutes, there was a considerable improvement in this issue. For a while it has virtually disappeared, it was like the good old days when it happened almost never.
    A few week days last the problem returned with a vengeance, as bad as when it reached its maximum when I started this thread. But I went on google and found a lot of internet chatter, suggesting that it seems to be a question of aol - across the network to an end, given that many people in the country had the same problems. So, it looks that I have would have been doing the pop-ups regardless.
    It seems that to subject the week last, aol themselves have had major problems to their e-mail systems based on internet comments there from other customers, so by doing this problem much more difficult to solve since now you know exactly what is the first cause pop-ups until aol gets their end of it solved. I can certainly tell you that raise the time intervals to send/receive 5 to 10 minutes doesn't seem to go very far to solve problems with pop-ups. Even though I'm still trying, here and there, I think that those that I received lately have been due to problems at AOL more so than mine, based on reviews other aol users. I hope that I may be at the end of the tunnel on this subject but thanks to what is happening to their end (aol), I can't say for sure yet. I'll keep you posted.

  • How can I import from Outlook 2007 when the option is grayed out?

    I'm moving from Outlook 2007 to Thunderbird. All is well until now, but I need to import my old mails from Outlook.

    Hi JackinGeorgia,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    Are you facing this problem only with Outlook or any other program as well?

    It seems that some background programs is in conflict with the proper functioning of Office Outlook 2007. You can try to put your computer in a clean boot and check the base program leading Outlook hang.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    The steps to perform a clean boot are given below:

    1 log on to the computer using an account with administrator rights

    2. click on start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue

    3. on the general tab, click Selective startup, and then clear the check box load startup items. (The check box use the file Boot is not available.)

    4. on the Services tab, click to select the skin all the Microsoft services check box, and then click Disable all

    Note:

    Following this step lets services Microsoft continue to run. These services include networking, Plug-and-Play, record of events, error reporting, and other services. If you disable these services, you can permanently delete all restore points. Do not do this if you want to use with existing restore points system restore utility

    Once you restart to try Office Outlook and see if you get the same error message. If not then follow the divide and conquer method mentioned in the article about which program is causing the problem.

    For more information about the clean boot, follow the below given link:

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    1. click on start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

    2. on the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

    3. When you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart

  • Outlook 2007 does not open after Windows Vista update 25 August 09 [Qosmio G50]

    I thought that it would be useful to others to post my experience just now.

    Yesterday (25 August 2009) my Outlook 2007 worked perfectly. I had downloaded & installed Outlook Connector 12.1 because I had received an email from Microsoft to say that the DAV protocol used for HTTP messaging would be withdrawn 1 / Sep / 09. I also noticed that MS had restored the POP3 service that they have closed a couple of years.

    Then I configured the POP3 account and started working with that. Everything is OK.

    Last night when I closed, Windows Update came and completed the reboot this morning. Outlook 2007 wouldn't start, coming up with the message: + cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window. Failed to open all the files. The information store could not be opened. +.

    Nothing that I've done in this environment would allow Outlook 2007 load, I created a new profile and who was not good.

    So I went back to the Restore Point system with the installation of Outlook Connector and everything comes to life.

    I tried also the restore point which challenge the update of Windows, but who does not cure the problem either.

    So, I'll see what happens when I reboot again, in the case where he had nothing to do with Windows Update.

    See you soon

    Very strange
    But maybe the Windows update was really responsible for this problem it is hard to believe, but it's not impossible

  • Outlook 2007 is limitation of message size, although there is no restriction of message on the Exchange 2003 server.

    When one of my users trying to reach a 50 MB file to an e-mail message, Outlook 2007 immediately appears with the following message: the attachment size exceeds the allowable limit.  The user is not even allowed to attach the file such as Outlook it immediately blocked.  We have a 10 MB limit for messages that leave the organization.  This user has attempted to send the file to another Member of our Organization. In Outlook 2003, we are able to send 50 MB files to another without problem. Does anyone have any suggestions? I wonder if there is a setting in Outlook 07 which limits the size of an attachment. The confusing part is that he was not yet able to attach the file.

    OS: XP Pro 64-bit
    Suite Office 2007
    Exchange 2003

    Thank you!

    Hello

    1 you need to set the maxRequestLength value in the web.config file to a value greater than 50 MB. The maxRequestLength value in the web.config file is a parameter ASP.NET prevents applications greater than a certain length that has been added to prevent DOS attacks. He is set to 30 MB by default and must be increased in order to send attachments more than 30 MB. This could also be declined to enforce a lower limit.

    2. you need to increase the MaxSubmitMessageSize which is a property of the mailbox of readonly (MaxSubmitMessageSize = 0x666D0003) and this is where we reach the limit of 10 MB.

    It is read from the following locations:

    1. First reading of the object the user mailbox
    2. If not found as indicated by "unlimited", Transport Settings Container
    3. If not found as indicated by "unlimited", Org (read default Org container) container

    To set the value, use the following tasks in the Exchange Management Shell:

    1 set-transportconfig MaxSendSize (this is KBS) and then assign 51200 for 50 MB attachments. This will put it to all users

    Or

    2 set-mailbox and set the MaxSendSize (this is KBS) to 51 200 for attachments of 50 MB forspecific to a set of users.

    Once you set or the other, you must recycle store or not access to the mailbox for 15-20 minutes (to allow to store the cache expire) so that the change in size to have effect. In addition, the property is stored in AD and submitted to replication delays.

    One last thing that you should be aware of (sorry, the list will just):

    We have a timeout of 60 minutes for any attachment request or download attachment query (in OWA basic and Premium). So if you try to download an attachment 50 MB on a 56 Kbps connection, you will then expire and get a HttpWebException (e.g., the max upload is about 25 MB on a 56 Kbps connection).

    So, to sum up, there are two keys to send a large attachment:

    1 ASP.NET change web.config settings.

    2 modify the MaxSendSize using the set-TransportConfig (for all users) or Set-Mailbox for individual users.

    And you must

    3 ensure that the total download time will be less than 60 minutes (depending on your size and the speed of your network link)

    The web.config change is immediate, but the MaxSendSize change takes time, because of the caching strategy (the letter box, DSAccess deadlines and delays in replication cache).

    Examples:

    Changes to Web.Config

    By default, web.config under OWA virtual directory (Microsoft\Exchange Server\ClientAccess\Owa) will have the following entry (by default, the maximum request size is about 30 MB):

    ....

    Change to where X is the value you want in KBs. 50 MB, X will be of approximately50000

    Change the size limit of messages by user

    Go in the Exchange Management Shell and type the following command:

    Set-mailbox - id: "username" - MaxSendSize:50000

    Where "username" is the identity of the mailbox. This will set the limit to send message to about 50 MB. You need to restart the store to see the effect immediately.

    Change the size limit for messages of all users

    Go in the Exchange Management Shell and type the following command:

    -Set-transportconfig MaxSendSize: 50000

    This will set the limit to send message to about 50 MB. You need to restart the store to see the effect immediately.

  • Recent research of Outlook 2007

    1. How can I clear the "Recent research" list in Outlook 2007

    Hello 2Sweet4Shuga,

    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Community Forum.

    There's not a utility provided by Microsoft to clear or remove recent searches in Outlook 2007.

    But I found a utility called 3rd party Outlook tools you might find useful to clean the data you want deleted.

    Click on the following URL and see the Outlook Tools utility provided by the howtogeek.
    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Microsoft-Office/clear-Outlook-searches-and-MRU-most-recently-used-lists/

    Before installing any tool, please create a System Restore Point, so if the tool does not correctly install, you can return to the place where your system before installation.

    To create a restore manually, point

    1. Click Start
    2. Right click on my computer
    3. Select Properties
    4. In the task on the left pane, click System Protection
    5. Select a disk (place check mark in the box if it is not already) in the list, usually C: and click on the create button.
    6. Type a name to identify this restore point (e.g. "before the update driver")
    7. Click on the create button

    When you are finished, Windows opens a window indicating that the restore point was created successfully.

    NOTE: using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly.  Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.
