Default Wont save passwords

HB wrote:

I have a copy of Outlook Express for several years now that worked on W-7.
Then,suddenly, it would not save my passwords. It's a real PIA to have to
add them every day when I check my email.

Also, I uninstalled OE and thought that would remove the problem but files
stay hidden somwhere because when I reinstalled OE, all the info was still
there including deleted old email. And of course the same old problem of not
saving passwords.

Anyone know how I can completely remove it from my W-7 Home desktop so I can
reinstall it fresh?


Passwords are saved in an encrypted registry entry. If corrupted, the
result is not entering the correct login credentials at the server so
Outlook Express prompts for a new password. However, entering and
remembering the new login credentials won't repair the corrupted
registry entry.

Use method 3.
