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.

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).

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.

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--- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05

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.

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."

Looks to me like like OE stolen from XP and patched/hacked to work
on W7, W8 and W10.
