    is a bit annoying and the only solution I can see myself doing is
    recreating my email account on TB.

    How can I fix this?

    Doesn't the password pop-up have the check box for remember. It does
    for me.

    make sure you know all you email passwords

    go into tools/options/privacy/saved passwords

    delete all the saved entries (or just the affected account)

    when you next retrieve and send emai, it will prompt for credentials
    agai, and you can tick the save box.

    I think what Millwood is suggesting concerns the "everytime" which you
    referred to originally... isn't there a check box in that repeated
    request for a PW to remember it in the future?
