creating pop3 account, password grayed out

[Lamini]

anyone figure this out? been searching, no luck. i know the fix for it,
involves using a known good non-affected user profile and copying it over the
account the account that has the password grayed out issue, but that shouldnt
be the fix.

anyway, hope that makes sense. on outlook 2007, when creating internet
email account, when filling out the internet settings page, the password is
grayed out. again, i have a fix, but it overwrites the profile which means
more work, but its a fix. just want to know why it gets grayed out

bump... im still having issues. I have no idea why the password is grayed
out from the section below. I have to wipe the profile as the fix, and
rather than doing that and rebuilding it, I would like to know the exact and
specific solution so that it does not get grayed out. THANKS

while playing in group policy, (after downloading admin templates for Office
2007)... UserConfig>AdminTemplates>MSOutlook2007>Security:
ensure that "Disable 'Remember Password" is not configured or not Enabled.
(never been here before). Mine was set to NOT configured. I clicked on
enable, then went back to not configured. went back to controlpanel>mail,
added new internet email account, and verified that the password was no
longer grayed out.

That was the fix, though, i guess something in the registry hung up or
something went awry.
