Outlook 2007 will not save passwords

[mtwhite]

I have just upgraded from Outlook 2002 to 2007 (XP Home SP3) as part of the MS Office upgrade. Outlook will now ask for the passwords for each of my accounts each time it attempts to retrieve/send email. I have searched the forums and have already created a new Outlook profile and tried the registry editing from the other posts. I have created new accounts. Nothing seems to work.

Has anyone found another solution for this problem?

Outlook 2002 ?? Sound like a known issue with Outlook 2002 on Vista. But you say
that it is (Outlook) installed on a XP Home system

Have a look here

Yes, it's Outlook 2007, on a XP Home system. We upgraded from 2002 (where we did not have this problem).

Wondering if creating a new profile AND a new .pst file will work?

If you allready created a new profile, and didnt copy the old one, creating
a second new profile & new pst is not going to help as the pst has no baring
on the problem.
In any case you would be better of creating a new pst in this new profile,
previously created, and setting this as default, otherwise you will be using
the old format pst which has the size limitation issue

After you checked/created the key in Windows XP, did you reboot?

Yes, I did reboot after recreating the key.

Is it possible that the pst file was not converted to a 2007 format? After a little more searching I found a utility that converts 2002 pst files up to 2007. Am I correct in that since there is a utility for this that it is a semi-regular occurrence?

There is no need for a tool to convert. Simply create a new Personal Folders
File and drag and drop your items from the old to the new.

As for having to convert, OL 2007 handles both formats, ansi and unicode,
equally well.
