Saving Passwords in Outlook XP ?

[newtothis]

Hello all,

I'm using Office XP on my home PC running XP Home and I've run into a little
problem with Outlook. For some reason one of my account was deleted without
me doing anything in the email account tab (or anywhere else). I just
stopped receiving messages and went into that tab to see what happened...the
account was no longer there. I had a couple other accounts that were still
there, but no longer receiving emails either.

I had to recreate/reconfigure the accounts. I'm still having problems as
Outlook will no longer remember my passwords. Each time it checks for
messages it asks me for my password (even though I make sure to check "save
this password in your password list").

I had this problem once before and someone gave me a link to instructions to
change something in the registry. That solved the problem, but I don't
remember how to do it.

Thanks in advance for any and all help...
