keep getting password request

I have tried to set up a second computer in our house with it's own e mail
address. I have checked with our server and everything is right as far as
set up goes. They say it is a software problem and to ask microsoft.
Whenever I try and send an e mail it asks for the password. If you enter it
all you get is the same request again. Even so I have managed to receive
messages. Why on sending does it ask for password? I have tried everything.
We have tried to get this e mail properly online for months. Is it a
software problem? All the configuration is right in 'Accounts'

Define "it's own e mail address", please. How does this address (account)
differ from the one on the other computer?

I had a friend who has this problem - may not be yours of course
After hours of frustration it turned out to be a malware or virus that
disables the windows remember password function
It is a keylogging virus that tries to get you to punch in the password so
it can record the keystokes
Sorry cant remember the virus name - and not all antivirus software will
detect it
I will post back if i remeber the virus name

If the ISP uses SMTP authentication, your mail program must log in to
the mail server in order to send. This is a spam control measure.

In OE this is specified in Tools, Accounts, Mail, Properties, Servers,
Outgoing Mail Server, My Server Requires Authentication. If the
Incoming Mail Server Account Name and Password above this are not for
your ISP mail account, click the Settings button and fill your ISP
settings there.

If you set up a new e-mail address with your existing ISP, how you
configure things for the new account depends on how the ISP supports
multiple e-mail addresses. Some give you an additional server POP3
account, others feed the multiple e-mail addresses into a single
account.
