I am embarrassed! After carefully re-reading Hal Hostetler's reply of 10/6, I
followed the link and found that Outlook 2002 does not retain passwords on
Vista. I checked my version and found it was 2002, not 2003.

I installed Outlook 2003 on a new Vista OS desk top computer and it won't
keep my password. I have set up this POP3 account on several XP os computers
and had no problems. When I enter the password during the account set up and
hit the test accout settings it works. As soon as I exit the set up and hit
send/receive a error window opens asking for my password, when I enter my
password it doesn't work. When I go back in to the email setup wizard the
password is missing even though the save password box is checked. I tried
checking and even changing the registry settings. Is there a patch or
download for this fix? Please help, my wife thinks I am an idiot for
upgrading to Vista. Am I?
