Can anybody help. i am in great trouble having this problem.......
I recently joined a new firm where exchange server 2003 is using just for internal communication.
there are around 30 users (Emails) already configured with outlook 2003 pop3 account to communicate via exchange server 2003 and all are properly working.
Problem starts here, as follows....
Now after few days i need to create 3 new users(Emails).
1- I go to AD Snap-in in Exchange server 2003 computer where i create 3 users e.g user1, user2 and user3 and hence the Exchange Email box e.g user1@abc.com, user2@abc.com, and user3@abc.com successfully.
Now assume for only user1 (user1@abc.com)
2- Now I go to client machine and add a new outlook pop3 account for user1@abc.com
Your name:Mudassar
Email Address:user1@abc.com
Incoming mail server(POP3):192.168.1.8 (Exchange Sever 2003 PC)
Outgoing mail server(SMTP):192.168.1.8 (Exchange Sever 2003 PC)
User name:user1
Password:123456
Remember password is Checked & Log on using secure password authentication(SPA) is Unchecked.
3- Now when I press the button 'Test Account Settings...', A prompt 'Enter Network password' is opened again and again after not accepting the logon credentials for user1 which was
Serve:192.168.1.8
user:user1
passwod:123456
Please note that all the other settings are absolutely correct and are just same as for the old Emails already working OK.
Also note that in the same client machine if i re-configure any old Email (which was working OK) in Outlook 2003, it works fine 100%, i mean it accepts Logon Credentials and hence send and receive mails, but when configure any of the new account it gives the above problem.
Also I matched the newly created users settings with the old ones in Active Directory and both are same.
It seems that the Ex-administrator put a tight security anywhere at the time of leaving the firm or what else settings in Exchange System manager that i am still unable to catch.
