Running OE 6 and Windows XP (personal maybe?)

I just set up a new PC. Although I thought it would be relatively simple, I
can't get OE to save my mail or newsgroup server passwords - even when I
check the "remember password" box.

Great security feature but since I run 2 news servers and a number of eMail
accounts, it's a pain to type them in every time I reboot the machine... Oh
yeah... It saves them once I type them until I close OE, then it resets
them to blanks.

Any tips or ideas?

Born once - Die twice. Born twice - Die only once. Your choice...

Have unwanted music CDs or DVDs of any type? I can use them for our
charity. eMail me privately for details. Donation receipts available.

This newsgroup is for support of Outlook
97/98/2000/2002/2003 from the Office suite of products. Outlook
Express is actually a separate program despite the similar name.

For help with your OE questions, try an OE newsgroup such as
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress (for OE 6), or
an OE help website such as http://insideOE.tomsterdam.com. If you're
accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services "Community Newsgroups" web interface, click
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=InternetExplorer
to get to the Internet Explorer groups, then click the plus sign next to
your version of IE to see the link to the Outlook Express group for that
version number. Good luck!
