O.E. e-mail account passwords 'not remembered'
 

Every time I log on to Outlook express or MS Outlook I have to re-enter the passwords on all my e-mail accounts. This is despite ticking the box 'remember password' in 'servers' .

Running 'XP home', on a laptop. No problem with 'XP home' on my desktop.

Apologies for bothering you kind souls again but has anybody got any ideas?

Perhaps I should have stuck to plumbing!!

exeng,

Your Outlook Express Password Is Not Retained in Windows 2000 or XP

See if this solves your problem.

Thanks again, you really are a star. I'll give it all a try and let you know how I get on.

Hopefully I won't have to report back that I'm using this laptop as a fancy doorstop, although reading that article gives me cause to believe I may be getting out of my depth somewhat.

exeng,

If for some reason you corrupt your OS, which is highly unlikely, we can walk you though a repair and even a fresh install, so there is little chance we will turn your notebook into a paperweight.

Many thanks again. I followed the instructions to the letter and was thankful for a successful outcome.

I had spent a couple of hours or so trying to sort the problem out by looking in 'help' files etc. Complete waste of time. I wonder why this 'bug' exists in this version of XP and not in my earlier version on my desktop. Life is full of mysteries eh!

Take Care,
