Available options: a) Configure the email client to NOT fetch external objects while viewing email. Generally a good security measure, but may render some email unreadable.. b) Figure out if there is a special User-Agent in the requests sent by Outlook Express, and allow access without authentication from this user-agent. Not very secure as it allows "anonymous" Internet access, but may be acceptable in your environment. c) Use NTLM authentication, which hides the login box from the user. Requires your Squid server to be connected to the Windows network, and that uses are logged on to the domain. d) If the login box is shown each time viewing an HTML email and not only once per Outlook Express session then talk with Microsoft ask them to implement a credentials cache in Outlook Express when fetching external content in HTML email, limiting the login dialog to once per email session. d) Accept the login box. e) Not use authentication.
