| | Stored Passwords mysteriously disappear Every so often (once a week or once every two weeks) when I start up Windows Mail, I get error messages on all my e-mail accounts. Then I find that my stored password for each e-mail account is gone, even though the 'remember my password' is checked. After I re-enter my passwords, all works fine again, but why do they disappear in the first place? The last Windows Update relating to Windows Mail was for Junk E-mail Filter for May 2008. I don't know if this has anything to do with it. Has anyone else experienced their passwords mysteriously missing from their e-mail accounts in Windows Mail? |
