Outlook 2002 Mail Problem after Upgrade to Vista Business

[John E. Golden]

Hello,

Since I upgraded to Vista Business, I have had a slight problem
sending/receiving mail using Outlook 2002. Every time I click on
send/receive e-mails, I have to enter my password anew even though I have
checked remember my password in options.

Any ideas?

Regards,
John E. Golden

Outlook 2002 uses a method to store passwords that was abandoned as not
secure enough in Vista.

Then, shouldn't Microsoft provide an upgrade for Outlook 2002 since it is
one of their own programs?

Microsoft no longer supports Office 2002.

Bummer!!! Then perhaps I am done supporting Microsoft. Linux Rewls!

Known issue, see http://www.outlook-tips.net/howto/vista.htm
There is no workaround that I know of.
Try to find a cheap copy of Outlook 2003 or later.

Well, I think Microsoft should be ashamed - cheeting people to buy Vista
under false circumstances. Why don´t they mention this problem when one as
advised are running their own Upgrade advisor? Nothing is mentioner in the
report there??? Is this because it's their own program and they don't want to
admit own errors? or is it a part of their sales strategy? They should have
informed of this problem like they inform of other programs problems in the
Upgrade Advisor. At least now, that we have bought Vista, despite this lack
of information they ought to solve this problem.
