Outlook 2002 not remembering password

[Ryan Young]

I'm having trouble with Outlook 2002 not retaining passwords on my three
email accounts. I go into the accounts and set everything up, test the
connection and it works fine. Leave the account setup screen, send/receive
and its fine. Might work for 2 or 3 times then it starts prompting for
passwords. Go into the account setup screen again and sure enough it has
lost all the passwords. Running under Windows Vista. Hope it's not a
compatibility issue. Any ideas?

Tried with no success. Windows will not allow me to delete the entry in the
registry. It might be a Vista thing, but I'm not sure.

Known issue.

Typical of Microsoft, produces a product, outlook 2002, shoves it down
everyone’s throats until they have no choice but to buy it, then produces an
unfinished operating system, forces OEM’s to install it on their machines,
you buy a machine come to install your Microsoft software you paid for and
Well it does not work, Microsoft remains silent about it until too many
people shout or just simply go away and buy the new one, at yet another
extortionate price. Shame on Microsoft. Just think what would happen to a car
manufacturer if they worked the same way. Microsoft is getting away with
murder

Did Microsoft forcemarch you to the store and hold a gun to your head until you purchased Office/Windows? No? Then tell me how you were forced to buy anything period. Using a computer is not a right and does not confer on you any rights as a consumer that corporations bend to YOUR will. If you don't like what Microsoft supports or drops support for, then there are myriad alternatives available.

Don't confuse your laziness with Microsoft forcing.

Charming I am sure, look I do not know what you do around here, but you
appear to be doing the bidding for Microsoft, like a loyal guard dog barking
at everyone that dares to tell it as it is or complain even Microsoft
employees don’t bark as harshly as you do. If you do not know how Microsoft
forces things down millions of people’s throat. Then you are either very
naïve or totally blind and stupid. When I buy a laptop 99% come with the damn
thing preinstalled. If I want to communicate with others by email, most use
the damn product MS produces, including calendar and contact and so on, so
unless I want to spend hours converting things back and forward from MS
formats to others, I am FORCED to buy MS because this version of the product
does not work on THEIR operating system. Now tell me why is it necessary for
me to buy latest outlook at an extortionate price if all I need is there in
the version I paid for? Just because MS said so? Which other manufacturer
will dare do that? Can a TV manufacturer force me to buy another one because
they now produce TV’s with questionably more facilities? The answer is NO. Do
you see how MS operates or not? Or are you just an unpaid guard dog? No
matter what, loyally barking on behalf of whoever feeds you, Milly Staples
[MVP - Outlook] (obviously MS does Value you, Partner )?

When I buy a laptop 99% come with the damn thing preinstalled.

So wipe the disk and install Red Hat Linux.

If I want to communicate with others by email, most use the damn product
MS produces, including calendar and contact and so on, so unless I
want to spend hours converting things back and forward from MS
formats to others, I am FORCED to buy MS because this version of the
product does not work on THEIR operating system.

Not at all. There are many mail clients that work on Windows that are not
Outlook and most are from companies other than Microsoft.

Now tell me why is it necessary for me to buy latest outlook at an
extortionate price if
all I need is there in the version I paid for?

Nothing forces you to upgrade either to either Vista or Outlook. 2007.
Windows XP licenses are fairly easy to come by on eBay. If you already have
a retail XP license, you're welcome to transfer it to the new PC. (OEM
licenses are different, of course.)

Which other manufacturer will dare do that?

Most software manufacturers have planned obsolescence in their products.

Can a TV manufacturer
force me to buy another one because they now produce TV’s with
questionably more facilities? The answer is NO.

The answer is "yes", or perhaps you've never heard the term "high definition
TV."

Do you see how MS operates or not? Or are you just an unpaid guard dog?
No matter what, loyally barking on behalf of whoever feeds you, Milly
Staples [MVP -
Outlook] (obviously MS does Value you, Partner )?

A company's sole raison d'être is to make money and as much as it can and
EVERY company does that. Why insist Microsoft be different?

Charming I am sure, look I do not know what you do around here, but
you appear to be doing the bidding for Microsoft, like a loyal guard
dog barking at everyone that dares to tell it as it is or complain
even Microsoft employees don't bark as harshly as you do. If you do
not know how Microsoft forces things down millions of people's
throat.

I'm still running XP and 2003. I guess I'm not one of those millions.

Then you are either very naïve or totally blind and stupid.

Nope and nope. Quite smart acutally, tho I do wear glasses.

When I buy a laptop 99% come with the damn thing preinstalled.

And I'd wager 95% of them come with Office installed too.

If I
want to communicate with others by email, most use the damn product
MS produces, including calendar and contact and so on, so unless I
want to spend hours converting things back and forward from MS
formats to others, I am FORCED to buy MS because this version of the
product does not work on THEIR operating system.

Or use Windows Mail, which is in the package. Or use Gmail, which has a
*wonderful* calendar system *and* understands ICS files (and is completely
mobile friendly).

Now tell me why is
it necessary for me to buy latest outlook at an extortionate price if
all I need is there in the version I paid for?

You and I have different definitions of the word 'extortionate' I think.

On the one hand, extortion is extortion, regardless if the price is a nickel
or 1 Millllllion dollars.
On the other hand, Microsoft Office Outlook 2007, standalone, is $90 at
Amazon. That isn't particularly extortionate.

Just because MS said
so? Which other manufacturer will dare do that?

Most car companies brag about 5 year warranties. But, just like XP and
Office 2002, the car won't stop running, but don't expect parts for the
newer cars to work on older cars. Sure, lots of times they do, but there
isn't a guarantee.

Can a TV manufacturer
force me to buy another one because they now produce TV's with
questionably more facilities? The answer is NO.

Did they force you to buy Vista?

Oh, and you're partially right. The TV companies can't force you to upgrade
your TV. The Government, on the other hand, has done lots of legislation
pushing HD signals and the obsolesence of standard signal is written on the
wall.

Do you see how MS
operates or not? Or are you just an unpaid guard dog? No matter what,
loyally barking on behalf of whoever feeds you, Milly Staples [MVP -
Outlook] (obviously MS does Value you, Partner )?

Actually it doesn't stand for that.

I am now Very Furious .

That's nice. I know a few anger management counsellors that might be able
to help with that.
