We are upgrading from WIN7 to WIN10, and from Outlook 2013 to Outlook 2016.
We run our email (POP3) through DSLExtreme and our own domain name.
In all prior versions of Outlook we've used, once the password was entered to access the mail server you continued to receive mail until closing the program. Enter one time at program start up. "Remember password" has never been selected.
Outlook 2016 continually requests the password every time it accesses the mail server. For some every 5 minutes, some every 10 minutes, whatever the interval is set up for.
It will continue to receive mail without the password prompt if "Remember password" is selected, but then does not require sign in then next time Outlook is started. We prefer to be able to open Outlook without downloading new email until we actually enter the email password, so just putting a password to open Outlook would still allow mail to automatically be received.
Is this an Outlook 2016 issue only? Or Outlook 2016 with WIN10? Or only POP3 accounts with Outlook 2016?
Is there a workaround to the constant password request other than "Remember password" ?
