• Wont save passwords

    I have a copy of Outlook Express for several years now that worked on W-7. Then,suddenly, it would not save my passwords. It's a real PIA to have to
    add them every day when I check my email.

    Also, I uninstalled OE and thought that would remove the problem but files
    stay hidden somwhere because when I reinstalled OE, all the info was still there including deleted old email. And of course the same old problem of not saving passwords.

    Anyone know how I can completely remove it from my W-7 Home desktop so I can reinstall it fresh?

    Passwords are saved in an encrypted registry entry. If corrupted, the
    result is not entering the correct login credentials at the server so
    Outlook Express prompts for a new password. However, entering and
    remembering the new login credentials won't repair the corrupted
    registry entry.

    Use method 3.


    1. To create a new profile/identity I have to get new email accounts at
    Gmail or somewhere. It wont let me use the account names I already have.
    So that wont work. It doesn't explain how to use the old account's names
    and passwords with a new profile in OE, even AFTER I deleted one account to
    see if that would work. It didn't. Also, the info on the Tabs in EO are not the same as in the article. There is no "Info", then "account settings"
    under the File tab in OE.

    2. As for the Key. I found it OK in the registry, but even following the
    simple directions, I get a "Unable to save permissions. Access is denied."
    I saw only 1 subkey key there though I have 4 accounts on this PC. So that will not work either. Moot since access is denied.

    The other info there was not for OE.

    The "save password" is grayed out. I have the same OE software on 4
    different computers and this is the only one that is grayed out and will not save them. Googling brings up a lot of info that often doesn't work. That's
    why I ask on the NGs, hoping to find someone with first hand knowledge who tried something that worked for them.

    How can everything be removed from OE so I can install a fresh uncorrupt
    copy? Have any idea? That is short of doing a System Recovery.

    Outlook Express profiles have nothing to do with separate e-mail
    accounts. You can have many OE profiles and each could point to the
    same e-mail servers doing the same logins. You have to define what
    e-mail account to use within a profile. It can be the same or different
    e-mail account than specified in another profile.

    Besides, method 3 is about deleting the registry entry that recorded the encrypted login credentials, not about creating new OE profiles. The MS article mentions having to change permissions on the registry key. You
    must be logged in under an admin-level account to use the registry and
    change permissions on the registry keys.

    Sorry, can't help with your problem, but the above interests me: I have
    a friend who is fond of OE, but is under the impression (as was I) that
    it won't work under 7. (There is that "OE Classic", of which the free
    version is rather limited and people here thought the paid version was
    flawed too, but I get the impression you aren't talking about that
    anyway.) One of the reasons my friend is staying on XP (though not the
    only one).

    Can you tell us any more about your OE-that-works-on-7? And is it 7-32
    or 7-64?

    Not responding to your problem: I always type my passwords from my
    brain. Maybe you have too many websites. :)

    One simple method is to use a VM to run your license copy of WinXP.

    Before telling people to Google, please do it yourself, and actually
    follow the links. Of the first ten hits, that search yields one or two
    that point to runasxp's product, about seven that point to the "OE
    Classic" product, and two or three that just tell us OE doesn't work
    under 7 (which we know).

    The poster to whom I was responding - and which Mr. P. is writing about
    too - wrote as if he had an original version of OE (not a substitute, replacement, or whatever), that had worked under 7 (no mention of VM
    [virtual Machine] running XP, either), for some time (and was continuing
    to, for that matter, just had started to prompt for password
    frequently).

    Our interest is in where/when he got it, or, if it's just the original (msimn.exe?) copied from XP or earlier, whether there's something odd
    about his W7 (such as maybe being 32 bit, or a pre-release candidate, or something).

    But I fear the original poster is probably no longer reading this thread

    It's 7-64. It works on W-10 also. I have the free copy that a website was giving away a few years ago. Now he charges for it. I have had no problems with the free version. The url is https://runasxp.com/

    Passwords are saved in an encrypted registry entry. If corrupted, the
    result is not entering the correct login credentials at the server so
    Outlook Express prompts for a new password. However, entering and
    remembering the new login credentials won't repair the corrupted

    e-mail account to use within a profile. It can be the same or different e-mail account than specified in another profile.

    I couldn't believe what happened this morning. As mentioned I deleted one
    of the email accounts because I wanted to use the same name profile. I
    didn't know there was a way to direct a new one to an existing account since
    I saw no way to do that. I had no idea how to switch back when it asked me
    if I wanted to switch. When I opened OE not only was the deleted account THERE, but the passwords were as well. All mail downloaded without asking
    for the passwords for each one. I did nothing to make this happen. WTF?
    I've been online since 1995 and something like this never happened before.
    Not unless a program was uninstalled and reinstalled.


    Besides, method 3 is about deleting the registry entry that recorded the encrypted login credentials, not about creating new OE profiles. The MS article mentions having to change permissions on the registry key. You
    must be logged in under an admin-level account to use the registry and

    As mention, I did that but I got an "Unable to save permissions. Access is denied." So apparently somthing happened to make it work again, no credit to myself.

    Use method 3.
    1. To create a new profile/identity I have to get new email accounts at
    Gmail or somewhere. It wont let me use the account names I already have. >>> So that wont work. It doesn't explain how to use the old account's names >>> and passwords with a new profile in OE, even AFTER I deleted one account >>> to

    the same as in the article. There is no "Info", then "account settings"
    under the File tab in OE.

    2. As for the Key. I found it OK in the registry, but even following the >>> simple directions, I get a "Unable to save permissions. Access is
    denied."
    I saw only 1 subkey key there though I have 4 accounts on this PC. So
    that
    will not work either. Moot since access is denied.

    The other info there was not for OE.

    The "save password" is grayed out. I have the same OE software on 4
    different computers and this is the only one that is grayed out and will >>> not
    save them. Googling brings up a lot of info that often doesn't work.
    That's
    why I ask on the NGs, hoping to find someone with first hand knowledge
    who
    tried something that worked for them.

    How can everything be removed from OE so I can install a fresh uncorrupt >>> copy? Have any idea? That is short of doing a System Recovery.
    Outlook Express profiles have nothing to do with separate e-mail
    accounts. You can have many OE profiles and each could point to the
    same e-mail servers doing the same logins. You have to define what
    e-mail account to use within a profile. It can be the same or different
    e-mail account than specified in another profile.

    I couldn't believe what happened this morning. As mentioned I deleted one
    of the email accounts because I wanted to use the same name profile. I didn't know there was a way to direct a new one to an existing account since I saw no way to do that. I had no idea how to switch back when it asked me if I wanted to switch. When I opened OE not only was the deleted account THERE, but the passwords were as well. All mail downloaded without asking for the passwords for each one. I did nothing to make this happen. WTF?
    I've been online since 1995 and something like this never happened before. Not unless a program was uninstalled and reinstalled.

    Besides, method 3 is about deleting the registry entry that recorded the
    encrypted login credentials, not about creating new OE profiles. The MS
    article mentions having to change permissions on the registry key. You
    must be logged in under an admin-level account to use the registry and
    change permissions on the registry keys.

    As mention, I did that but I got an "Unable to save permissions. Access is denied." So apparently somthing happened to make it work again, no credit to myself.

    In a brave new world. when you log in, the login process creates
    a "token". The "token" is proof you logged in.

    Even if someone breaks into an account and changes the password,
    the "token" on a running process continues to maintain an authenticated
    state. For some tools, this means instead of storing the user password
    for them, the tool stores the token instead, and gives the impression
    it's handling authentication somehow.

    It all depends on the rules of expiry, as to how tokens
    are destroyed. Is time a factor ? Is number of window openings
    a factor ? These re all design decisions for the company allowing
    this sort of access.

    https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/auth/web-server

    "Exchange the authorization code for an access token

    This access token is passed to the Gmail API to grant
    your application access to user data for a limited time.
    "

    The fun part, is figuring out from the description, how it works.

    Thanks for coming back! I see, so it's not the original Microsoft
    product (I'm surprised they let him use the name!), but one created by
    someone else to look like the original. Looks better than the "OE
    Classic" one (and a _quick_ look didn't show any charge, though there is
    a donation button - though without downloading and trying it I can't say
    if it does charge). But good to know that that one works, and has for
    years for you (and now has even fixed itself against what you originally reported about the passwords!). Thanks again for coming back.

    The original - or rather the final - _Microsoft_ product, OE6, was
    indeed officially part of some IE version, and not downloadable
    separately, though I think could be (I _think_ the msimn.exe was
    sufficient?). Earlier versions of OE - I'm not sure up to which one -
    _were_ available separately, but that's going back a _long_ way.

    But it seems that the original poster here, HB, wasn't using the
    Microsoft product anyway, but one made by runasxp, but put forward by
    runasxp as if it is the original: well, nowhere does it _say_ that it is
    the original, but nowhere does it say (not in an obvious way, anyway)
    that it _isn't_, either.

    OK, I now understand what you are running. But let me point out that
    in your first message in this thread, you should have explained what
    it was. It may look like Outlook Express, but it's not Outlook Express
    (which was a Microsoft product). It's a third-party product called
    "Outlook Express for Windows 7, 8 and 10."

    I have a copy that works on W-7 and W-10 flawlessly. It was free at the

    It installs itself in Program files (x86) on W-7 and W-10. I have it on 4 machines and so far so good - except for the one apparently temporary
    problem of not remembering passwords on the W-7 DT. The spellchecker was
    free on some site I no longer remember. Add it to OEs folder and execute.

    The PCs it works on are W-7 and W-10. But to work in W-10 you have to keep deleting the update that screws it up. Or you can run it from a Thumb
    drive.
