I have a new computer. I’m setting up my email in Outlook Express just like on my old computer.

My old computer remembered my passwords. I cannot get this one running Windows XP home to do it!

I go to Outlook Express/tools/properties/servers and enter my password and check the “save” box and click “apply” and “ok”

Now I click “properties” again and the password is \*not \* saved!!

This is driving me nuts. Help!
