Yes, Pam....Outlook has these settings and that's what's causing Rose's problem....when you have it set to automatically send/receive mail, it will try to do this when you first log on....and yes, there is a setting to remember your password, but Rose obviously does not want to do this.....the problem she is having would be identical in Outlook Express Linda Publisher ~ ABC ~ All 'Bout Computers Owner ~ Linda's Computer Stop http://personal-computer-tutor.com/main.htm Author/Teacher ~ MS Office EBooks/Classes http://personal-computer-tutor.com/services.htm -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Pamela Foreman Sent: Monday, May 13, 2002 3:28 PM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] Re: Outlook 2000 > Hi Rose.

I've never used Outlook 2000, but I'm curious. It lets you set a schedule of either manually checking your e-mail or letting it only check at start up or every so often. I also have it set to remember my password under the accounts section. Just curious. --Pam ************************************************************* PLEASE READ!!!!
