Password problem in Outlook

[Eilidh]

I can't believe I am having this problem.

I have an old Yahoo email account, a free one, one that I have importe
from Win98SE to Win2K to WinXP, and now Vista, where it has been workin
happily for over a year. Several days ago Outlook began throwing up th
dreaded Enter Network Password box. I haven't a clue what the passwor
is. I thought I knew but . . . .

For years I have used this account as a semi-serious account; I use i
to keep in contact with family and friends scattered all over th
world. (For business I use an account on my own server.)

Can anyone suggest an app that will reveal the passwords in Outloo
without munging my email? Free is good.

This has been going on for several days. I'm enjoying the peace an
quiet, but I keep having visions of all these messages screaming to ge
out.

TIA

Eilidh in Englan

We don't do Outlook here.
If you misspoke and meant the "Windows Mail" program, get back to us.

This is to be expected and is a known issue
