OE6 not remembering password...

[Guest]

I cannot seem to get OE to remember account passwords. Does anyone know the cause and or cure for this

It allows me to select the REMEMBER PASSWORD box, afterword it allows me to enter a password as well. I click APPLY, hit SEND AND RECIEVE MAIL and up pops a dialogue box asking for the password. Afterword, it will check w/o asking until I close and reload OE and then it starts all over even though the REMEMBER PASSWORD box is still checked. I did notice that the password field is complete blank though, no characters of any kind

I've reinstalled windows to no avail.... Any clues?

Thanks!

This fix applies to Outlook and other programs that store passwords
in the Protected Storage System Provider sub-branch of the Registry.
It also corrects some issues with Internet Explorer and Autocomplete.
