using outlook in vista

[plrs x45]

Hello,
When using outlook with vista I have to enter the password even though I use the setting "save password". The first time I enter it it says "error sending" and then once I close it and press send and receive again it works great. Any suggestions as to why I have to keep doing it this way?

Thank you in advance.

Which version of Outlook are you using?
I think either Outlook 2000 or 2002 has a known/unfixable issue with passwords.

I am using Outlook 2003 as I stated in my post.
I might add that this solution also repaired the same problem in Windows Mail.

And hopefully, the OP is using 2003 also.
