Still no progress with this, and here's what I've tried so far :

Browse to C:\Users\Mark\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Protect
Make a backup of this folder while all other programs are closed and then delete that folder. See if your passwords are remembered now. You might need to enter them a single time when you start Outlook for the first time after this.

Didn't work : the first instance of the password being forgotten took place just 42 minutes later at 16:21, shortly after the computer had blue-screened ( whether this was a coincidence or not ).

Didn't work : I don't know exactly when the 'insert password' message came up, as I wasn't on the computer at the time, but when I logged on at 21:08 the same evening, it was there.

For what it's worth, I spent hours trying to figure out why that box kept popping up (and no emails were working), but finally cured it by switching off my wireless router and switching it back on again. Problem solved - simples. Well, it worked for me....

Re-configured account settings so that the 'outgoing server' port no. was 587 rather than 25, for all five problem accounts.

Didn't work : It took about ten minutes before the problem re-occurred.

I've also tried : manually disabling COM add-ins; disabling McAfee altogether ( temporarily!! ); constructing a whole new Outlook profile; and deleting the relevant subkey in the registry, in order to see whether any of these much-suggested solutions worked; none of them made any difference whatsoever. I've checked, double-checked and triple-checked the POP3 settings for all five accounts.


Surely there's got to be SOME solution that actually works?
