Password requird each time

Even though I check "Save my e-mail address and password" every time I click
Reply to a message, I am required to enter my password, therefore I see no
need to have that requirement and it is ridiculous to have the save option
as it does not work ...at least for me

Can anyone offer a logical reason for this?

Well - I would venture a guess - but since I have no idea what you use for
an email client (or if you even use a client and not just IE or Firefox) - I
would rather ask you for more information..

Windows XP
Important Do not remove the main Protected Storage System Provider key. This
key is not automatically regenerated. If you are not having password
retention problems and you do not remember your password, deleting the user
subkey may cause you to not be able to retrieve your mail.

Note If you are a Windows XP user, you must have administrator permissions
to edit the system registry.1. Quit all programs.
2. Click Start, click Run, type regedt32 in the Open box, and then click OK.
3. Locate and then click the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Protected Storage System Provider
4. On the Edit menu, click Permissions.
5. Click the registry key for the user who is currently logged on. Then,
make sure that the Read and Full Control permissions are both set to Allow.
6. Click Advanced. Then, verify that the user who is currently logged on is
selected, that Full Control is listed in the Permissions column, and that
This Key and Subkeys is listed in the Apply to column.
7. Click to select the Replace permission entries on all child objects with
entries shown here that apply to child objects check box.
8. Click Apply, and then click Yes when you receive a prompt to continue.
9. Click OK two times.
10. Double-click the Protected Storage System Provider key to expand the
key. Click the user subkey folder that is directly underneath the Protected
Storage System Provider key, click Delete on the Edit menu, and then click
Yes in the warning message dialog box.

The user subkey folder looks similar to the following example:
S-1-5-21-124525095-708259637-1543119021-16701
Note For every identity that you have, there may be a subkey under the
Protected Storage System Provider key. To resolve this issue in all your
identities, you must delete all the user subkeys folders that are under the
Protected Storage System Provider key.
11. On the Registry menu, click Exit. Then, restart the computer.

Reasons not to use OE?

The above palaver is a good indication. You could fill a large book
with the problems and security issues OE has.

There are many far better e mail clients than OE these 2 are free
there are many more.
