Outlook will not retain password with POP 3 mail

[John]

Using outlook 2002 with XP. Each time outlook is opened,
I have to enter the password again although the block
remember password is checked. Using POP 3 mail account.
Is this a know issue?
Thanks

If you are still having problems after applying both the SP 1 & 2 patches,

the (insert latest virus name here) virus, all mail sent to my personal
account will be deleted without reading.

I have the same problem, and have tried to follow the instructions on the
webpage.

but the problem is..

Double-click the Protected Storage System Provider key to expand the key,
click the user subkey folder that is directly below the Protected Storage

System >Provider key, click Delete on the Edit menu, and then click Yes in
the warning >message dialog box.

The user subkey folder looks similar to the following example:
S-1-5-21-124525095-708259637-1543119021-16701

this does not exist in my registry, there is only a *Local Machine*
subdirectory, and nothing else. and just a default key in it.
so everywhere i read, i cant find anything that can help me, cause there is
nothing there in the folder, no subkey or anything that can help me to
remember the password.

I use German GUI. Terms may not be adequate.

If you use SMTP authentication, set it to 'Login
as/Username/Password'. Do not use 'Same as POP...)
