Hi George --
Thanks for the article -- actually it was just a paragraph which I'm quoting below:

Regarding the common problem of dial-up passwords not being saved, even though the 'Save Password' box is checked. Microsoft says that this problem is caused
by a corruption of the password list files (e.g. [userid].pwl ). Once corrupted, subsequent password information cannot be retrieved properly. Windows
95/98 bravely stumbles on .. of course without saying a word about the problem. The solution here is to delete or rename the damaged PWL files and then
log off and back on again. Alternatively, a new password list can be created by changing your logon userid.

Now I have a question about this: When it says "log on", does it mean the windows logon or the mailer logging onto an ISP mail account?
And when it says userid, does that mean the windows logon userid, or the email user id?
This makes a big difference...
Anyway, I'll poke around, but meanwhile, thanks for the pointer!

Hi Dennis --
Are you talking about your mailer checking the mail on
your 
ISP, or your computer just not making a connection?
I am on XP Home using Outlook Express for my mailer, and I


also have had this problem.
I entered the account info for my newest ISP and email
address and checked all the boxes they told me to check on

the dialog, but for some reason I still have to retype the 

password every time I start up the program.
Did you try removing the password and exiting and
restarting
the program and then going back to accounts and
re-entering
the password info, then exiting and restarting the
program? 
I know there is some kind of private cookie saved to disk
somewhere that saves this info, so just changing it isn't
enough -- you have to repeatedly close down and restart to
be 
sure it is saved and reloaded correctly.
But I speak without experience as I was never able to get
it
running myself, and have just resigned myself to typing it
in 
every time I start up the program.
Actually, this isn't so bad -- not only is it more secure
to
retype it, but also you are sure to always remember what
your 
password is.
Good luck, and if you get it working, could you tell me
what you did? 
Thanks.

Greetings all,

My Windows XP sp1 wouldn't save the password for my ISP
connection. I tried
checking both checkboxes for "enable for this user" and
"enable for
everybody using this computer", but nothing worked. Not a
big 
trouble, I
know, but still quite annoying.

Thanks for any possible ideas.

Best regards,

Denis
