Vista - Outlook 2002 will not save passwords

Hi all,

After installing Vista beta 2 over XP Pro SP2, Outlook 2002 no longer
remembers any mail account passwords for any user, even if I reenter them and
select "save password." There was a post on this subject elsewhere on this
newsgroup that referred to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290684, but when I
looked in the registry (using the instructions for XP, as Vista is not listed
yet of course) the listed entry does not exist. I searched the entire
registry for such a key, and there is none. The passwords were retained fine
before upgrading to Vista.

Thanks,

--Andy

Hi Andy,

Did you read the fine print? This is Microsoft Windows Vista Beta 2.
Beta means that it is support to have bugs. The people over at Microsoft
recommended that you install Windows Vista Beta 2 in a seperate partition
and you were not to have installed the program on a production computer. I
read that.

Of course there are bugs. That is why I report them here. I'm looking for
answers to help solve them. I fail to understand why you think I didn't read
that or that I installed this on a production system.

I too am experienceing this with Outlook 2007 Beta as well as Windows Mail in
Vista RC1. With previous build they were remembered.

Hello,

A clean install of Vista beta 2 fixed my problem. I had originally installed
it over XP SP2. Not necessarily the most pleasant solution, but it worked. I
also had quite a few other glitches that seemed to be fixed that way.
