Outlook 2002 with Windows Vista - password in email account is not retained

I have just installed Outlook 2002, as part of Office XP, into my new laptop
that has Windows Vista. I was using the trial version of Office 2007, but I
uninstalled it when I did not buy it. Outlook was working fine. Also,
Outlook 2002 was working fine on my other computer with Windows XP. Every
time I run Outlook now, and then do a Send/Receive, it asks for passwords
for my two email accounts. Then when I check my email accounts under Tools,
Email Accounts, then View or change existing email accounts, then change
each email account, in the section for logon information, there is a box for
password, with a check box for remember password. This box remains checked,
and the password should remain there, but now it is being cleared, for some
unknown reason.

I would like to know how to fix this as it is a nuisance to have to reenter
my password each time I run Outlook.

Thanks

Cool. Thanks for that. I now have another problem. And that is that I can't
seem to link Contacts up with the address book. I think I will just stop
using Outlook 2002 in Vista. I will go back to using my desktop computer
with XP installed for emails. At least until I buy Office 2007.

Outlook 2002 is out of mainstream support and will only receive security updates.
