Hello: Outlook forgets my remembred passwords and i have
to enter them to send/retrieve email on my two accounts.
I always click the box to tell it to "remember" the
passwords but it does not. What can I do?

What can you do?

First, post what version of Outlook and what patch level Office is at.

Second, tell us what type of mail accounts these are - POP3? Http? Exchange?

Third, please provide more of the above type information in future posts to
avoid someone having to come along and ask for the basic information
required to start to troubleshoot the problem. We are all volunteers here
and most of us have a very full personal life from which we take a small
amount of time to help out here.

If I, and others, come across a post lacking any information, we will most
likely just move along to one that has provided a bit of meat to start
troubleshooting.

Just an FYI to help us help you.

Hello:
I have Office XP (2002 SP2 - 10.4712.4219) running on Win
XP. Both accounts that intermittently prompt for user
name and password are POP3 accounts. I am accessing them
via Comcast cable modem. One is the Comcast account and
one is at Earthlink. The prompt will have one password
filled in with the other accounts user name. Happens both
directions.
Thanks for any help.
