saving password in outlook

H.L SG

Hi,

Recently I bought a brand new set of computer but apparently the outlook express doesn't seems to be retaining passwords for severals email accounts that I have and it can be a tedious chore because whenever I check my email, I need to key in all the passwords.

The problems has been hightlight to the technicians but accordingly to them, this is software issues and they couldn't do anything about it.

1) how can it be software issue when the software is pre-loaded.

Appreciate if anyone out there can give me some advise.

Open your MS outlook, tools-->email accounts/account settings--->select the desired email account--->open up its settings--->under logon information--->should be a checkbox under where you put your password--->check "remember password".

Since you say its outlook express, it really might be that old that the option is not available and the technician aint wrong. The above I have given is based on MS outlook 2003/2007.

Better write your user name and password somewhere.

No harm using the same password for all your different email accounts.

Provide an alternative email address, for you password to be sent to, in case you really, lost your password.

Clearing your history, would also clear all "remember password".
