Cannot retain password in Outlook 2003

Whenever I close and then reopen Outlook and go to send/receive, it keeps asking me for my password.

I enter it, check the "remember password" box and all is well til I have to shut it down whereupon it gos through the whole procedure again.

Wonder what is going wrong?

I am using Vista Home premium O/S.

 

What Operating system are you using ?? This article will most probably fix the issue.

If it is Vista, look out for t he Xp part of the troubleshooting. Its more or less the same for Vista.
