Hi, I am using Outlook-2000 SP2 build (9.0.0.6627) to access my E-mail using IMAP over SSL/TLS.
When every I start Outlook login always failing, after few attempts, I was able to login success fully. Also outlook is not remembering the password I have to enter every time (checked remember box). Here is more information. Client: OutLook 2000, Windows XP Pro.
