Outlook always asks for Password

[levesque8]

Beginning last night, when I open Outlook, it asks me for the passwords for my mail accounts. I have the "remember" password box checked, but it always asks anyway.

Does it accept the passwords?  Don't know if you're in the UK, but BT has issues with their mail services yesterday and lots of people were having this very issue.

The dialog box always pops up asking for the password when accessing the accounts (I have 4 email accounts monitored through outlook. Even when I check "remember password", it does it every time.

I am in the US

So you enter the password, click OK and can see your new mail okay?  I would suggest you start by recreating the email accounts.  You can create a copy before deleting the old one - better for testing purposes.

I went through the steps on a Microsoft site to try to fix my "corrupted" outlook file......and I found a temporary solution.......Outlook Express lol....works  fine for now

I would suggest you start by recreating the email accounts.

Did you do this?  Did you try deleting the email accounts in Outlook and then recreating them?

I did that....same result......something is up with my ".pst" file, I guess, so I switched to Outlook Express and that works fine for now. I will continue to research when I have some time.

Thanks

Well I guess you could just create a new .pst file...

I will try that, but have a lot of saved emails and contacts...thanks for your help!!!

This site is great!!!

You could copy everything from the old .pst to the new .pst - it's possible to have them both open in Outlook simultaneously.
