OutLook 2000 SP3 login always failling.

[Sundaram Ramasamy]

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.
