I'm getting an error using Office XP (Outlook) to get mail from an exchange 2000 server when I'm out of the office. When I "Test Account Settings" all tasks succeed except "Log onto incoming mail server (POP3)". It fails with a "Log onto incoming mail server (POP3: Unable to logon to the incoming mail server (POP3). Please verify the settings in the User Name, Password and E-mail fields." message.

I running Windows XP Pro SP2 with Office XP.

I'm able to successfully run these tests and get emails with the same account on a system that is running Windows XP Pro SP1 with Office XP. On this system I check the box "Logon using Secure Password Authentication (SPA)". When I check this box on the SP2 / Office 2003 system, I get an error saying that it needs to be turned off.

Any ideas?
