Solve : Computer won't remember passwords?

Answer»

I have this problem on both Vista and 7. Every time I get email (and I have 10 accounts) it asks me for my password. I am using Outlook 2000. I made sure Remote procedure Call was on automatic.

Edited by Allan to remove empty spaceYour VERSION of Outlook is old and I don't know how settings in it COMPARE to newer versions. I have Office 2003 on a Win XP SYSTEM. Where, exactly, in the Outlook 2000 menu structure is "Remote procedure Call" found?

You could try using the free email clients from Microsoft for Vista and 7. You already have the one with Vista. It's Windows Mail. Win 7 has no built-in email client but you can DOWNLOAD the free Windows Live Mail. I have Windows Live Mail on another computer and I could never get it to handle more than 1 email address. Remote procedure call is in services.msc and it is what allows passwords to be saved. I have ALWAYS used Outlook 2000 and it has always worked just fine. Now I have two computers that keep asking for a password. I keep my email on one computer and forward to myself important stuff. Now there is no sense in having two computers.

Why, because of the password issue? That makes no sense. You either have a need to get your email on two computers or you don't.

Don't what your problem is there. Windows Live Mail, and every other email client that I know of, can handle multiple email accounts. I have 5 email accounts in Windows Live Mail.

Do you know how to save a password in Outlook? Please explain exactly how you believe the procedure works. Have you changed your password recently? If you access your email account via web browser, does the same password work? Quote
Remote procedure call is in services.msc and it is what allows passwords to be saved.
No, it is entirely and completely unrelated to your issue.
