I have been trying to figure out why my Outlook will not
remember my passwords to my email accounts. I have two
accounts running under Internet Email and each time I
start up Outlook to run the mail, I must type in my
passwords each time. I have went to the Tools/Accounts/
settings to specify my passwords and lock them into the
system. But, each time I store the passwords a message
pops up and tells me that the changes will not take effect
until the next time I logon. So, I logoff and then back
on and then check the settings and the stored pw's are
gone. Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks,
Kevin
 
I'm haveing exactly the same problem whith two pop mail accounts and an imap account. That's a lot of password typing!! I've patched it all the way to the most recent updates using the office update site but nothing helps. Is there a regestry entry of some sort preventing the storage of passwords?
 
After long searching and several attempts I found the answer at Microsoft support website. I hope this helps. You have to make changes to the registry and restart your computer but it really works. If you know where to find the MICROSOFT KNOWLEDGE DATABASE IT IS ARTICLE NUMBER 235864 otherwise the link is listed below. Good luck
