I am trying to open Outlook without having to enter my
pop3 account password every time. I check remember
password but it continues to ask for it.
 
Control Panel - Mail - Properties (for the internet account) - Servers.
Make sure the box is checked to remember your password. Click OK until
you're back to the Control panel.

Then close and restart outlook.

Hopefully, that'll solve the problem. If not, try reinstalling Outlook
using the same settings as before (after backing up your personal files).
 
It would be most helpful if you would specify your OS and Outlook version.
One of these will apply:
There have been several recent issues with passwords not being retained with
Outlook. If you're running Outlook 2002, the SP1 solves many of these, so
start there. If not, here are some other solutions:
