XP Home and Outlook Problem

[Des]

Can anyone shed some light on why my outlook express always asks for me to supply a password to check mail when I have countless times put it in to the accounts section/clicked remember password but it never remembers it..any help would be greatful

well because outlook is a stupid email client. By now am sure you are well aware of the thousands of countless bugs in MSN products.

My suggestion, use PocoMail or The Bat! as email clients.
Both work well and keep things simpler.

Des have you looked at using something else I miself use Incredimail and inport my other email address into it. Outlook express sucks big time I think anyway or like S_P said

From experience there are 2 possible password requests.

1. The password you need to connect to your ISP

2. The password you assigned yourself to access your mail.

check to see you have the right one in the right place.

If no joy,delete your account [under manage identities] and then re-activate[same e-mail i.d etc]

I still think the best solution is not to use MSN outlook (or outlook express).
Full of too many bugs & security holes & doesn't work as well as other email clients.

Still good job in finding a solution for yourself Des.
