I set my password using the process I described in my original post. Now I
do not have the pop up. But why does it not work with my wife's account?
I can go to mail.charter.net, enter her username and pasword and I can see
her
e-mails, so it is not the server. It has to be something with OE.
Thank you for your reply.

It is required by your ISP and they know what it is. Call your ISP or use
this tool to recover it.

I just reinstalled my Win XP, and I'm trying to get back to where I was
before I started.
One problem I'm having is that now when I open OE 6.0 I'm asked for a
password. I did not ask to be password protected in OE.
Here's what I've done so far:
In "Identity Properties" the "Require a password" is unchecked.
In "mail.charter.net Properties" under the "Servers" tab Password is
unchecked.
But I'm still being asked for a password.
Please advise.
