we just upgraded our server at work to win 2003 server but are now using win 2003 server smtp pop3 to host our own email. (we had been using exchange server 5.5)

some accounts seem to be having problems getting email in outlook. however, when we use outlook express with the same settings, it works fine.
outlook only seems to work if the computer is logged on to the network with the same user name as the email account.
example
name@isitrans.com in outlook works when name is the win2003 log in on that computer.
but name@isitrans.com works in outlook express regardless of how the computer is logged on, even when i am at home.
using name as account name, name@isitrans.com as email, isitrans.com as pop3 and smtp

any ideas?
some of our users prefer outlook to outlook exprss.

Thanks
