iis smtp nntp: Hi,

If you wish to change the authentication type from "Local Accounts" to
"Encrypted Password File" you will need to delete the existing domains, and
start over.

However, to remove the SPA requirement shouldn't require that. "Require SPA"
is a checkbox that you can uncheck on the server. Open the POP3 MMC,
right-click on the server and bring up the properties. uncheck "Require
Secure Password Authentication". SPA affects the way that the client
(Outlook) sends the username/password to the server (basically it uses NTLM
authentication rather than sending usernames/passwords in the clear).

I think what you need to do is configure your Outlook accounts, and tell
Outlook that you want to use a different username/password for each account.

Cheers
Ken

Thanks.

However when I try that the "Enter Network Password" dialog pops up in
Outlook for webmaster@myhome.com, and when I enter the password it doesn't
accept it and simply returns me to the "Enter Network Password" dialog.

I guess what I'm think the problem is that Authentication Method for the
POP3 server is configured to be "Active Directory Authenticated" and that
dropdown is greyed-out so I can't change it.

Any other ideas?

So you unchecked "Use SPA" on both the POP3 server and the Outlook client?

Then, in Outlook you create two email accounts, and for account one you
supply the username/password YourDomain\User1 + password and for the other
account you supply YourDomain\User2 + password
