I have both my road runner mail and my gmail
downloading into outlook express, this is OE for windows 7 btw, and since last
weekend when I was having trouble with my gmail I've been having to enter the
password for both my road runner and gmail accounts every time I open OE to
check e-mail. I've made sure that the save password box is checked for
both accounts, and thinking that the boxes were reversed and checked meant it
was unchecked and vise versa I unchecked both boxes and that didn't fix the
problem, and since the default is checked I unchecked and then immediately
rechecked the boxes before okaying it and that didn't work. Any other
ideas?
Btw if anybody has a copy of OE for windows 7
that is one of the free versions I'd appreciate getting a copy, last week when I
started having the gmail problem I was going to try to reinstall OE over the top
of itself to see if I could get it to start giving all of my messages again, but
when I tried to do that Abast popped up and told me there was a problem with the
file and it evidently automatically got rid of it because I don't have it
anymore.
Thanks in advance for any help with these
matters.

The Protected Storage service has been
corrupted. This happens sometimes with the version of OE
for 7. The Protected Storage service is responsible
for retaining Outlook Express passwords. You can repair it by
reinstalling Outlook Express. Just remember to run the installer as
administrator and insure that the
"Patch Protected Storage
Service"
checkbox is checked. Reboot when the
installation is complete. After you reboot and run Outlook Express, it
will ask for your passwords one final time, but it should then remember them for
subsequent sessions. You can download the last completely free version
here from my Dropbox.

Thanks Carlos, can I just
install over the top without needing to uninstall first? I have quite a
few messages in my various mailboxes that I don't want to lose.

Yes you can just install over the existing copy,
but even if you were to completely uninstall it, your messages would not be
deleted.

Troy you may try to check your
settings in your account. You do this by selecting the tools menu, then select
account, then select properties. In properties ;you contro tab over to server
page. In servers page tab down to password. Make sure you delete the field that
you type the password in and then retype the correct password. Then tab next to
have password save turn on, then tab to log on using secure password
authentication is turned off, and tab next to my server needs passwrd
authentication is turned on. then save the changes by checking okay and see if
this helps with your password. If not then try reinstalling Outlook express. I
hope this is helpful to you.
