Passwords not being saved in Outlook and Outlook Express

[sahnetiger]

Does anyone know why I cannot save passwords when setting up a profile for internet e-mail using POP3? Before I get a flood of replies I have done the basics by ticking the box "remember my password" but this does not work. When logging on again the tick is there but the password has gone.

Is there a service that should be switched on or something blatantly obvious that I am missing?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
E.

Your registry may contain incorrect information for the Protected Storage System Provider registry subkey for your user account.

I followed the instructions on Microsoft's KB but I still had the same password problems.

Here's the URL to Microsoft's solution:

Good luck and if you find another way please let me know because I still have this problem.
