Default Question on Passwords

Why does Outlook 2007 keep asking me to enter my password for my email
accounts? I enter them, check to save and the windows pops up again
asking me to enter it again. I tried changing the passwords under
account settings and it still dies it.

This just started happening and I don't know how to get Outlook to
save these passwords and quit asking me for them.

Thanks

Pat

Assuming you've ticked the "Save password" box and it's still happening, the
password request is coming from your E-mail server, not Outlook. It's some
sort of authentication problem. It tends to come and go for many ISPs.
