Outlook Express wont save my password

When I set up my outlook express mail accounts I checked the save password box, and it still prompted me for my password. I've gone back in and rechecked it and no sooner than I hit apply and okay and go back into properties the password field is empty again. I have three mail accounts set up and it won't remember any of them so every time I open it to check my mail I have to enter all three passwords. Trust me it gets really annoying.

I also have the autocomplete feature turned on in IE6 and it never works. I don't think they're related but who knows. Any suggestions?

what version of windows?

i had that issue on winMe.. but getting ctiticals fixed that. ( unless was a user error i inadvertantly corrected.. *heh*)

but did have this in bookmarks.... for xp and win 2k users..

I'm running windows 2000... I got half way through the article that you directed me to.. I need to get some sleep before I attempt to do all of that. It sounds like that is exactly that my problem is though, thanks for the info. If this works you'll be my new best friend!

It worked! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. You just made my day! I've been living with this for months and its finally working correctly.
