Well, let me jump in here and confuse the issue further. I am experiencing the same behavior. I am using IE6/Windows 2000 here in my office. We do not use a proxy server but we do have the CheckPoint firewall running between our LAN and the Internet. It seems like I get the "Username not found" error whenever I change dates in the pull down at the top of the message tree pane. I'm definitely not using Internet sharing so that's not the cause.
Just thought I'd brighten up your Monday! ;-)
"It is an important and popular fact that things are not always what they seem. For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much -- the wheel, New York, wars and so on -- whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man -- for precisely the same reasons." - Douglas Adams
