Outlook 2002 with Windows Vista - password in email account is not retained

[Spider]

I have just installed Outlook 2002, as part of Office XP, into my new laptop
that has Windows Vista. I was using the trial version of Office 2007, but I
uninstalled it when I did not buy it. Outlook was working fine. Also,
Outlook 2002 was working fine on my other computer with Windows XP. Every
time I run Outlook now, and then do a Send/Receive, it asks for passwords
for my two email accounts. Then when I check my email accounts under Tools,
Email Accounts, then View or change existing email accounts, then change
each email account, in the section for logon information, there is a box for
password, with a check box for remember password. This box remains checked,
and the password should remain there, but now it is being cleared, for some
unknown reason.

I would like to know how to fix this as it is a nuisance to have to reenter
my password each time I run Outlook.

Thanks

Cool. Thanks for that. I now have another problem. And that is that I can't
seem to link Contacts up with the address book. I think I will just stop
using Outlook 2002 in Vista. I will go back to using my desktop computer
with XP installed for emails. At least until I buy Office 2007.

Flawed logic. Outlook 2007 is worse than Outlook 2002 when it comes to
configuring the Outlook Address Book. This has nothing to do with Vista. All
you need to do is configure your Outlook Address Book the same as always.

Outlook 2002 is out of mainstream support and will only receive security updates.
