When I first set up Outlook Express I established two
addresses, one for general use and one for church use
which I intended to protect with a password. Following
instructions from Comcast, I ended up with a password
requirement to access either address. Since that worked
for my purposes, I left it alone.

I no longer need the password and don't use the church
address any longer. I'd like to end up with a single
address, the one listed as my e-mail here, and remove the
password required every time I access e-mail. I've
worked with Comcast tech support 4 times, they sent me to
Microsoft by phone who sent me to Dell by phone who sent
me to you. Are there simple instructions that will help
me. It's important that I not lose any e-mails or the
ability to use my (e-mail address removed) account or have to
tell the world I have a new address.
 
If I'm understanding you properly, I believe you only need to delete the
account you are no longer using. In Outlook Express, go to Tools, select
accounts, go to the Mail tab, select the account you no longer wish to use
and click delete.
 
What you need to do it open your outlook express and
click on tools. Then click on accounts. Remove any e-
mail addresses that you do not want. Then click ok. Next
you will need to go to file and click on identities.
Then click on manage identities. click on the identity
that you want to remove the password for. Then click on
properties. Then uncheck "require a password". Then
click on OK. That's it. Good luck
