OT-Help with Microsoft Outlook (Saving Passwords)
 

Ok I got a question, I am trying to help my Unlce set up outlook to read his hotmail account. We both seemed to set up the account fine but we ae having 1 dumb problem.


Ok I typed my password in and clicked save passowrd and he did the same, only problem is it saves mine but wont save his?

what is he doing wrong

I am sure it is the correct password he is typing in since when it asks for his password he types it back in and recieves his Email.


I think it is some kinda of securty setting could someone please give me a hand?

I would really appreciate it.

I dont know really. Did you make a new identity for your uncle in Outlook? That is the only thing I can think of.

Check Tools -> Accounts -> Mail -> Properties -> Servers

See if his password is checked underneath there.

yea it is just like mine is but he hits apply then ok then goes back in and it is blank???

WTF

Not to threadjack or anything and I truly hope that someone can help resolve your problem. However so as not to start another thread and seeing how many tech support people will most likely read this thread:

Running MS Internet Explorer v5.5 and when I click on the search icon it comes up as "Sorry, the system is not working properly." and repeats the message if I attempt to customize it. I have searched the MS Knowledge Database and have not come up with the answer. I really can't remember doing anything that would have resulted in this. Any thoughts are highly appreciated. Ok, back to normal broadcasting now. Thanks.

OK I found a couple of answers for Outlook:
