Outlook e-mail password

I have been using outlook on a number of computers to gather my e-mails , since last Monday the 25th July, unless I have the password saved box ticked I cannot send e-mails. As I want to be secure I would prefer that my password was not saved. I normally get a request by the program for my password prior to sending e-mails which covers all the bases but now I get, a cannot connect to server error, so have to tick and save my password in the account setup routine for the thing to work any one else come across this problem?

Hi mda,
I have the same problem with Outlook with the same error message, although mine is the other way round: for years I had my password saved and then all of a sudden the account seemed to lose it, both on my computer and my smartphone.
I spent quite a while on the phone with the helpdesk and used the online help. All to no avail, still have to manually type in my password every time as it keeps losing it. Also at the moment can't send from Outlook - don't know why.
Would be grateful for any suggestions - error message is Ox800CCCOF
Hi. Welcome to the forums.
Can you say what security/anri-virus package you are using (applies to mda as well) ? e.g. Norton, McAfee, AVG etc.
This problem can be typically caused by any of these and other products, perhaps because something called "Email scanning" is on for outgoing (and perhaps incoming) emails. This feature is not really needed and can be unticked from the relevant settings.

Mail password doesn't work only with my Airport unit with MacBook, iPhone, iPad

Starting a couple of weeks ago, and every week for a few hours, my mail password will be rejected on my MacBook, iPad and iPhone when connected through my Airport Extreme. I'm not sure whether this is related to the firmware upgrade I did two weeks ago. It had never happened before.
The password is correct. When I connect from any of these devices through another network, it works fine. The problem only occurs with Mail, and only through my particular Airport Extreme (4th generation N) unit.
All other Internet access through this unit works fine.
The mail account is an IMAP account through Intermedia. An Exchange account with Intermedia (a separate mailbox) works fine on both my computer using Microsoft Outlook and iPhone Mail.
The last time this happened, the problem randomly fixed itself within a few hours. Now it's happening again.
Any ideas or suggestions?

Fixed itself again two hours later. Intermedia is not reporting any problems and since the other mail account (on the same server) works fine, I don't think it relates to them.

Shared Computer Outlook E-mail Accounts

I created a form with a custom e-mail submit button that sends the PDF form to the next approver that is selected by the user from a drop-down list. The form works correctly on computers that have only one Outlook e-mail account but the submit buttons do not work correctly when employess are sharing a computer (muliple Outlook e-mail accounts). Is there a way that when the Send By E-mail button is clicked, Outlook would, "ask" which account it should open?
Edit:
IT was able to help me with proper terminology that may elaborate this issue a bit. Many users may share the same computer, under the same windows login username. To facilitate them being able connect to their individual email accounts, we setup Email Profiles by going into Control Panel > Mail (in Windows). We cannot select a default profile so we check the box for "prompt for profile to be used", which should come into play whenever the users opens Outlook or hits a "mailto" or "send to email" button from another application. The user will see a "choose profile" window appear and they can proceed to enter their username/password upon selection of their Email profile. Adobe seems to skip the "choose profile" window and will instead choose the first email profile we created on the machine, and ask for its username & password. Although one might think we could just put in the correct username and password, that does not work since Adobe (or perhaps windows) is trying to authenticate the wrong email account.

Thanks-
Do you or does anyone else know of a way to use the MAPILogonEx function that is mentioned in the following Microsoft support page? Perhaps it is hard-coded and not something that can be changed.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306962
Particularly:
Use the MAPILogonEx function
When you call the MAPILogonEx function without specifying a profile and by setting the MAPI_LOGON_UI flag, MAPI displays the profile creation wizard if no profiles are on the computer. If profiles exist, MAPI displays the Choose Profile dialog box. Click New to start the profile creation wizard. (Since we have profiles created, it should display the choose profile dialog).
More information also found here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd296726(v=vs.85).aspx
I'm wondering if our form/adobe is currently using MAPI_PASSWORD_UI which would choose a default profile

How to stop voice mail password pop up on iphone 5

How do you stop the voice mail password pop up on the i phone 5?

Call your carrier & have them reset your voicemail. Then set such up with a password. Voicemail is a carrier feature, not a phone feature & most carriers require a password for such.

I keep getting asked for my Mail password when I want to send or receive mail in Mail. I do not know what this password is as I thought it was my Apple ID password, but this fails. I have changed that password so many times recently as I thought they were linked (why aren't they?). How do I change my Mail password without having my old one? Are there some security questions I can answer to do this? Heeeeelp please.

Your iCloud password is your Apple ID and password. You must know it since you are posting here.
Have you transfered your MMe account to iCloud? If not, open iCloud in system preferences and sign in with your Apple ID and password.
If you have transfered it to iCloud, do this:
Go to the iCloud icon in System Preferences and open it. Sign out of iCloud.
Open Mail. If the iCloud or MMe account still exists in Mail's preferences under accounts, select the account and delete it. Then sign back into iCloud and choose Mail and any other applications in iCloud that you use. The Mail account should be put into Mail automatically.
Signing out of iCloud should remove the account from Mail and signing back in should put it back. There is no manuel account creation by you when using Apple Mail application.

Deleting Old Outlook E-mail Address and Adding a New One

I am using an SMT5800 and have recently moved. In my previous location, my phone was synced to my workplace Outlook E-mail address. Since moving, I have tried repeatedly to update my Outlook E-mail settings to match my new workplace. Unfortunately, when attempting to change the Outlook settings, the phone does not allow me to remove my old username. Since the phone also does not allow me to simply delete the old Outlook address and simply start over, I remain unable to Active Sync with my current place of employment. How might I go about rectifying this?

I assume you were using MS Exchange for your work. If you can not delete the old account then you do have a problem. This should not be an issue. First back up your phone, Contacts, Settings etc using a backup program like PPCPIMbackup(free) or SPB backup or equivalent. For this message I used PPCpim Backup and backed up all my data to my storage card. Next start ACTIVESYNC on the phone, click MENU>OPTIONS and delete the Exchange account there. Then establish a account with your new workplace. Once the account is established Start PPCPIM backup and restore just the info you want, i.e. contacts etc. That should work.

My ISP tells me I need to I need to change the port to send/receive e-mails, but I can't remember my Mail password to add an account. How can I proceed without the password?

My ISP tells me I need to change the port to send/receive mail, as the current port is going to be disabled for security reasons. But I can't remember my Mail password to add an account. How can I add an account when I don't remember my password? It's been several years.

your email password is with your ISP so they can help. but if it is saved in the email app you can just change the ports in the preferneces without a password.

- Problem: I have 1400 e-mails with attachments that need to be converted into pdf and the attachments cannot be embeded.
System: PC Windows 7 using Acrobat X Prof. - Thank you!

Hi ,
There is an option of embedding index for faster search while converting email to a PDF .
However I am not sure that will serve your purpose or not .
I would recommend you to get in touch with Microsoft support as well .
Meanwhile I'll work on it and get back to you in case I get a desired solution .

Conflict between program Mac mail and program Microsoft Outlook e-mail???

Denmark, Kolding, 30th of September 2010
A conflict between program Mac mail and program Microsoft Outlook e-mail?
For several months tried to discuss and resolve with several Apple specialists/support, but without much luck.
Therefore I have discussed these issues with 2 different and independent Mac users to find out in testing other Mac users will have the same problems as outlined in the below mentioned situations.
I will therefore outline the coverage issues, as mentioned, including occurs on my iMac 21.5 " with serial number: <Edited by Host> and 2 friends with their Macbooks of new dates as follows:
1. Sending from my Mac plain mail as "plain text "(during formatting):
Plain text mail as "Plain Text "(during formatting) Verdana font size 10, sent and received on Windows PC with the correct letter size - but with the font changed to Century Gothic!!!
2. Sending from my Mac plain mail "formatted text" (during formatting):
Eg. with my signature/signature-colored types and Verdana as font and size 10, possibly with underlining and italics in the text dispatched - the mail received as text with New Times Roman size 12 and signing /signature color Verdana now in size 13.5!!!!
3. Sending plain mail "as normal text "(during formatting)
In the mail text underlined and made bold - the program asks whether to convert to RTF format (to keep underlining, bold, etc.) and Verdana as font and size 10, YES - this mail is received on the Windows PC as text with New Times Roman with the desired underlining and bold text and size 12!!!!
4. Plain text mail as "formatted Text"
Eg. with signature / signature-colored types and Verdana as font and size 10, possibly with underlining and italics in the text sent - received as text with New Times Roman and signing / signature as colored Verdana now in size 13.5!!!
5. Sending mail with file attached:
After producing a normal text document modified to PDF and directly from the Adobe Reader sent this PDF file in e-mail formatted as normal text with font Verdana 10 point, with signature. This is received on the Windows PC with a PDF file OK, but the font of the mail text is changed to Century Gothic and missing signature. Signature is available as an attachment on the Windows Outlook e-mail program as a ATT00113.text file. This can be opened and there is the missing signature!
6. Sending e-mail with photos directly from iPhoto
iPhoto opens and click on the desired photos eg. 5 pcs. (Exactly as mentioned in the demo video!) and click on the e-mail icon at iPhoto and the program opens and e-mail that is opened with the attached photos and rich text is being used in the mail. Signature disappears and must be clicked on the mail by the sender.
The mail is received with the attached pictures OK - text changed to Times Roman with the desired bold - though no signature and 5 pcs. Att0028.html files attached. These can be opened and contains the file number each picture!
The above problems can be partly avoided by the following:
1. Only send mails as plain text
Without any underlining, attachments, etc.. When the Windows PC Outlook receiver opens the mail where only the text fond is changed!!
2. Sending mail with attached file
Start opening the mail program and use formatted plain text first and then attach (with the staple) file, and the Window receiver will get the file, but text and signature changed to Times New Roman size 13!!
3. Sending mail with photos from iPhoto
Start by opening mail program text in Verdana 10 and click the Photo Browser and find (look for - takes its time!) the pictures you want to send and pull/drag them into the mail and send, - images, text and signature are in the mail on Windows PC - but with the font changed to Century Gothic!!!
If sent as formatted text with various underlining, italics, etc. together with the photos will be received OK - but the writing is now New Times Roman size 12 signatures Verdana now in size 13!!!
I must say – I am disappointed with the Mac mail program – it actually means that sending a perfect mail with underlining, colours, a.s.o. also photos directly from iPhoto – will received at a Windows computer in a totally mess.
Looking forward to some good news from either Mac supporter or some clever Mac users who can help me to adjust my Mac to avoid these problems IF POSSIBLE!!!!.
Apple/Mac is too good a product to make these problems!!
Best regards
Peter Larsen

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
The PC sets the font on its side, the Mac does on its side for plain text. There is no "font size" in plain text coding. Rich Text gives you a bit more control, but only if both e-mail clients support it. HTML gives you a bit more control, but only if both e-mail clients support it. Use the asterisk, parenthesis, underscore, or any keyboard symbol that is part of the original ASCII. Otherwise, the chance is nobody else will be able to read it who does not have your e-mail client in the same version.
Sadly there are no e-mail standards except MIME for attachment, and even that isn't universally supported. E-mail is not the ideal medium for anything except plain text that is ASCII. To learn more about ASCII, see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII
If you want to post a website that is universally understood, see the hints here:
