Yesterday, my Outlook, or as I lovingly call it until I get off it, LookOut, started to request a password every time it went to one of my gmail accounts. Arghh. I thought that this was the beginning of one of the infamous LookOut problems. So I started fresh this morning to “solve” it.
- Looked up the correct password. (Paper back up is wonderful.)
- Plugged it in.
- Same problem.
- Logged onto the Gmail account from Firefox. OK!
- Confirms the password is correct and usable.
- Maybe GMailhas “forgotten” I want to use a pop client?
- Bingo!
- Setting for POP is “forgotten”. Reset.
- Retest. A-OK!
Don’t ask me why GMail got stupid? I’m just happy it wasn’t LookOut!
That’s ten minutes of my life I won’t get back!
