| | Problem storing email passwords in Outlook 2002 & Vista Since upgrading to Vista, I reinstalled Outlook 2002 and setup all my email accounts and then imported my settings and .pst files from my previous version of XP. All my email accounts are working and the account settings panel in Outlook displays the username and stored password for each account. However, every time I open Outlook and press the send/recieve button, it asks me for my password for each of the POP3 servers. It never asked me to do this when running it under XP, the remember password box is ticked but it does not seem to make any difference, it still asks for the passwords evey time. Any ideas what the problem may be? |

| | Re: Problem storing email passwords in Outlook 2002 & Vista Hello, this error is "normal" with Outlook 2002 on Windows Vista. Outlook 2002 uses the "Protected Storage Interface" (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290684/en-us) to store its passwords, but this is not supported in Windows Vista anymore. There is no patch or fix, because Outlook 2002 is not officially supported on Windows Vista.

| | Re: Problem storing email passwords in Outlook 2002 & Vista "NORMAL ? Normal!!" Our family bought 'Office XP' just over 3 or 4 years ago, and as far as I know XP was the last operating system from M$oft!!! Now, if it was OFFICE 98 or OFFICE ME I'd understand............... obviously M$oft want to sell more OFFICE programs AND you have to buy the most expensive suite as the "home" one does NOT have OUTLOOK? In VISTA - WORD works, EXCEL works, OUTLOOK works but just does not remember passwords !! "Security problems", they say, well I've had none so far in the past years with Office 2000 OR OfficeXP!! I'm sick of spending more and more for a simple need - I'm looking elswhere for something simpler. So, its either another >$300 to buy the new "OFFICE 2007" for a need to remember passwords, or ditch Vista - this is the worst decision I have made, asking for our new family computer to be Vista not XP!! .... and that was extra $$$ to boot!!! Between us all in our family we have 6 email accounts - MICRO$OFT YOU'VE GOT TO BE JOKING!
