After reformatting and re-installing XP home , each time I open OE6 it asks
for my password. It never did the previous 3 years. I called the ISP and
"they" said you always have to put one in there otherwise they would have to
rewrite the code to disallow it. I know better. How can I get it to quit
asking for my password? When I set the program up I left that field blank.
Later the ISP helped me set one up but it won't go away because the box
"Remember..... is grayed out.

Thanks

You /must/ have an OE logon password, although you can check to Always
Remember.

Outlook Express keeps prompting for your password
