Re: Cannot Save Email Passwords

No windows Profile password
WL Sign-in Assistant is installed
No Network Accounts
As I said, all was well until about two weeks ago. Something changed - I
suspect from a Windows update.
Just received a message from Microsoft that OE will still access HM past the
announced June 30 deadline, so I may go back to OE and ditch WLM.
Thanks,
Randy
