I've just had a look and I don't think Outlook 2010 has that option.... ?? It might be that M$ decided to use auto authentication/negotiation as to take away the hastle from potentially confused end users? This is frustrating, using Thunderbird this setup works really well however, my organization **requires** Outlook and the only contectivity is to a remotely managed Exchange server (being connected to over VPN to another country) and no **standard** protocols used, just **Exchange** meaning I can't even connect to the server using a 'normal' client. :-S Am totally lost now! - BUMP!
