Found this solution in another group.
After much searching on these boards I've noticed that others were having
this problem: Outlook 2007 would not save the password for your e-mail
account.
I had the problem and noticed that many others did as well.
I have found a solution that worked for me.
Go to C:\users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Protect. Delete the
Protect folder and it
will eventually regenerate itself, all is well with Outlook now. All
passwords are remembered.
Let us know if this works for you.
