| 157495 | 2003-07-04 22:22:00 | Since installing Outlook/2000 this package refuses to remember Passwords, requiring these to be retyped each time a new Outlook session started and send/receive mail selected. I have repeatedly ticked the save passwords tick box, and I have no confusion about extra asterisks showing for the IE signon. The problem is with the Outlook connection dialog box only, not the IE logon box, which does remember my password :) Outlook is also not remembering that folders that I have created under my Contacts folder, are also contact folders for use when e-mailing. I have checked the box on properties for these folders and said they should be included, however this only remains checked for the session and is blank again when a new session is started :( Clearly something is preventing my settings from setting, and I have already searched press F1 and Microsoft for a solution to no avail. Can someone please help (even to point me to an earlier article, as I've had no luck finding one on this) ?:| I am running Outlook/2000 SR1, on Windows/2000 SR2, having migrated my .PST file from a Windows/98, outlook/98 environment on a different PC. I also have IE 6.02 running on the PC, which is a Compac Deskpro EN (SFF) with a Celeron 600 processor and 128 MB of RAM. The Windows/2000 install was from the Compac proprietary disk. Cheers :D Slash |

| 157497 | 2003-07-07 08:31:00 | Hi Peter, thank you very much. This article was exactly what was required. Funny how I couldn't find it when searching on the Microsoft site, not a very good search engine (or perhaps not a very good searcher). Regarding the other problem with a sub-folder not remembering it is an address book, this has cleared up by itself. I did run the repair option in add/remove programs so perhaps this did it. Not sure exactly but thank you for your help again. Much appreciated. Stephen.... :D | Lashams (4162) | ||
