Account Password not maintained in Outlook 2002 in Vista

[Donald]

I moved Outlook 2002 from XP to Vista. When I set up the account, I entered
the password and checked the box to save it. However, each time I start up
Outlook, I get a failed logon message. I check the account and the password
is missing.

I re-enter the password, mark the box to save it again, and the processes is
repeated the next time I start up Outlook.

Everything else seems to work fine. I even managed to keep my contacts and
messages. I used the program that Vista provides on the install disk for
transferring data. Maybe that program messed around with the account while
doing that.

Thanks for any suggestions

Donald

Does Outlook work on Vista?
