Always need password in OE 6?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.general (More info?)

I have 2 computers set up with Win 2K and all current updates.
I have the same e-mail accounts set up on both computers and I have checked
both computers setting in OE6 and as far as I can tell, they are the same.
The one computer will check my e-mail and go to my in box every time i turn
it on, but on the other computer it always asks me for my pass word no
matter if I check the save box or not.
I have even set up other e-mail accounts on this machine and it still asks
me for a password.
Even using a different Identity it asks for a password every time.
What am I missing here .
It's driving me nuts.
TIA,
Amir

Try asking in a group specific to your email software.

Windows will ask for a password at startup if it is part of a workgroup.
I guessing, but if you turn on PC-1 while PC-2 is off, PC-1 will
assume it is a single machine and not ask for the password. If you
leave PC-1 on and then turn on PC-2, PC-2 will see PC-1 and enter the
same workgroup after you have supplied the password.

I haven't played with this but it might work to tell both PCs they are
in different workgroups. Is there an option for no workgroup?

Outlook Express 6 is part of my Win 2K installation.

Thanks for the reply, but this has nothing to do with work groups.
The 2 computers are 130 miles apart.
I am talking about Outlook Express asking for a password on one computer and
not on another when both computers are set-up identically.
