I'm not sure which version you are running, so I can't
give you specifics, but here is the general idea. For
instance, in outlook 2003, select tools, email accounts,
view or change. Then select your mail account from the
pop up and select change. There is an option in your
mail account setup to enter your password. Be sure to
click the "remember my password" button.

It's similar in outlook 98 and outlook 2000 and outlook
express but the interface is slightly different. You
have to figure out how to get to your mail server setup
dialogue and check remember my password.

If click on remember still doesn't work,

On systems, Outlook or Outlook Express will not remember the e-mail
password,
which would then need to be entered in each time.

To solve the problem:

1.. Open Registry Editor
2.. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft
3.. Right Click Protected Storage System Provider
4.. Choose the Permissions option
5.. Click the Advanced box near the bottom right hand corner. This should
open another box, Towards the bottom of this box there should be two tick
boxes, make sure that both of them are ticked. Click Apply, another box will
open Click Yes, then Click OK and OK again.
6.. Left Click the + next to Protected Storage System Provider and Delete
any sub folder in this tree. (Right clicking and choose the delete option or
press the delete key and choosing yes to delete)
7.. Shutdown and Restart Computer.
