Vista & Outlook

[Phil]

Hi all I am new here. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to get Microsoft Outlook to remember my passwords

[Steve]

Hi Phil,

welcome aboard

What version of Outlook are you using?

Do you mean the password for your Exchange server, or general passwords to say, websites?

[Phil]

Microsoft Outlook 2002 and yes I mean the server passwords. Soy for the delay been away.

I cant remember Outlook 2002 precisely, so some of the names of the actions I'm going to recommend may have changed slightly. So here goes:

1. Open Outlook
2. From the Tools menu, select 'Accounts'
3. Select your email account and press 'Change' or it may say 'Modify'
4. A new window will appear. Make sure you fill in the correct password and press 'Save Password'.

Let me know if that helps!

[Phil]

No I have already tried that several time but it still will not remember password

Hi Phil,

When you enter the password manually, does Outlook download any messages? The reason I ask this is because Outlook won't 'remember' incorrect passwords - i.e. you have to enter a correct one for it to be stored.

My second thought is whether your ISP or office network may require you to enter a domain as well as the username. E.g. domain\user.

Are you connecting to an Exchange server or a POP3 server?

Thanks
