Do you know how I set up Outlook Express to save my password?
I can't get the "Remember Password" box to activate when I open OE.

   The strange thing is that I had the same thing happen to me yesterday.  Before that I had never experienced it.
   I had signed up for Gmail and then used their utility to add my new Gmail account to OE.  When I then checked my email with OE, it asked for the password.  I entered it and it did not ask for it again while I had my computer on, but after I restarted my computer it asked for it again.  The Remember Password checkbox was disabled.
   I solved this by going to the Tools menu of OE, to Accounts.  Then I found the Gmail account, selected it, and clicked on the Properties button.  On the Servers tab, I checked the Remember password checkbox (this one allowed me to check it) and then entered the password.  That seems to have worked.
