Re: Outlook 2007 won't save passwords in Vista...save password box che


My problem is identical to the original poster. I tried the solution
below, and it seemed to help - I get the password dialog box less
often, but it still comes up (with the correct password entered, but
without the check box selected). When it does work, I can select
"send/receive all" without a problem. I am running Vista / Outlook
2007. Any ideas anyone???
