How do i fix Outlook's Email Password popup?

[Outlook Password Popup Nutcase]

i've read the technical "fix" for this problem, and then tried it without
success. i've spent two hours on the phone with a tech and no resolution.
if you have this problem, you know what i mean...the Outlook feature that
automatically checks for email pops up a dialog box requesting your password
even if you have checked the box to remember it. whomer solves this problem
deserves sainthood.

You'll need to provide more info. At least the following;
-version of Outlook (including Service Pack number)
-what articles you tried
-what else you tried

Taken a look at the following already?

For Outlook 2000 or 2002 on Win 98, NT, or 2000:

For Outlook 2000 on Windows 2000:

(IMO) http://support.microsoft.com/?id=259416

For all Outlook versions on Windows XP (just ignore the parts that refer to
Outlook Express):

I'm using Outlook 2003 on Windows XP home edition. this problem existed with
an earlier version that was fixed with the registry correction suggested in
the article, but this version won't take the fix. i've tried it numerous
times.

Hi!
I'm having the same problem with Outlook 2002 SP3 on a
Windows XP Pro SP2 machine. Previously I didn't have any
problems, it just "popped up" all of a sudden. I have
tried the fix written in the KB article, it didn't help.
Strange thing is, it tells you to delete a registry key
using regedt32. Well I couldn't delete it with regedt32,
only with regedit.
I have tried reinstalling Outlook, haven't tried
reinstalling Office.
Thanks for any help:

Adam

[password popup nutcase]

i have an ordinary pop3 account with Qwest.net. this account has worked well
for me for over 5 years. the only thing different is that i also added
another pop3 account using an alias with the same email name and password as
the original. i get mail from both names: jfg3 (original) and
[email protected]. i also host my website through qwest. but this problem
existed before i made any changes and i've tried deleting the alias, but the
popup continues anyway.

i have a question: is there a difference between using regedit and
regedt32? i tried typing in regedt32 and it didn't work, so i used regedit
and got into the registry. the registry appears the same, but does one
perform functions differently in the background?

also, i noticed that there is only one set of keys under the protected
storage system provider, and although i only use one profile, but when i
click on the "MAIL" iceon in control panel and check profiles, it shows
"Joe"(the one i use) and another listed as "Microsoft Outlook Internet
settings".

i have no idea if this helps make sense of this, but my son (an MCSE) nor a
contractor to MS, or the MS Techs have been able to help me fix this problem.
Thanks for any help you can give, but hurry, or it may be my heirs that
benefit.

I have a similar problem. Using outlook 2002 on Windows XP with service pack
2 installed. when i ran " http://support.microsoft.com/?id=264672" it could
not be followed exactly. in step 6, the 'apply' button was greyed out. i
did delete the user subkey...

every time outlook opens and i check tools/email accounts/ the password is
blank, even tho the box to save it was checked.

this seems to be a problem for a lot of people and there are apparently no
appropriate fixes being advised. what's up????
