I changed the passwords for my two POP webmail accounts and then tried to change them in Outlook.  I know I have to add the passwords to the main account screens and then, because my POP accounts require passwords, to the "More Options" sections.  Usually there is no problem when I do this, but for some reason the last time I tried to do it, I kept getting "authentication failed" messages (sorry, I forgot to copy down the error code).  I am wondering if it is because I pressed "Save" after filling in the initial account screen (before I filled in "More Options") rather than just pressing "OK" on the "More Options" screen after I finished entering all the new information.  Should I just press "OK" after filling in everything?  Should I choose "Save" as well after completing everything?

I was finally able to get the passwords to work, but just want to clarify what I was doing wrong initially.
