Outlook Express Looses Saved Password

Dec 28th, 2004

:evil: In outlook express every time I save a password for an account it gets lost. This is occurring on two computers one without SP2 and one with SP2. I haven’t found any security settings that would relate to this issue. The computer with SP2 saves a password just the wrong one.
