After accidently deleting all of my .pwl files, I can no longer save my E-Mail account passwords in Outlook Express. Evry time I get into OE, it askes me for my username and password. I have tried most of the solutions on the Microsoft knowledge base. Any ideas?

Problems with Passwords

I think you are referring to actually checking the mail for a specific account. What you can do is remake the account under tools>accounts>mail tab and if that doesnt work you can try making a new identity that does not require a password and one that logs on at startup without a prompt. you can do this under file>identites>manage identities. That should do it. I dont think that deleting the pwl files would have caused this though because I work for an isp and we delete the pwl files from user's computers all the time to solve password errors with dialup networking and it has never interfered with saving passwords in oe. Just a thought.
