Default Outlook 2003 won't retain POP3 password

This seems to a be a well-known problem. I have tried the following:

1 Carried out the setps in KB article 290684. I do not have a problem
carrying out the procedure, and everything happens as I expect, but it
does not fix the problem.

2 Tried removing and re-creating the email account. Does not fix the
problem.

3 Examined the pop3 log file and the IP traffic for port 110. This
showed that the server answered, gave an initial ready indication, and
responded to the user name. However, the password is rejected. This
provokes the username/password dialog to which I enter the password
which is then accepted.

The irony is that testing the account using the same password
succeeds.

The only palliative I have been able to use is to increase the mail-
checking interval. But where is the fix?
