Off Topic, so I'm sorry but I think you people know more than any other group I know 
of  ...

I'm getting some aberrant behaviour from MS Outlook2002 - lately it's been popping up 
the invalid password dialog box when I collect mail, but if I just click "OK" it goes 
away and gets the mail.   Next time I collect mail, it'll be another account that's 
supposedly refusing the login, but entering the password again, clicking the "remember 
password" box and it goes and gets the mail.   Then again a few times later, the same 
thing, so it hasn't remembered the password or it's sending the wrong info to the mail 
server.

I thought for a while it was a problem at the mail server, but I could collect mail 
using Outlook Express without problems, and I know the passwords were ok because I can 
log in using the web based mail client without problems ever.  And other people have 
been able to use Outlook to access my account without any problems too.

So I think I have a corruption in MS Outlook somewhere.  I reinstalled Outlook, using 
the "repair" option but that didn't make any difference.

So here's the question ... 

Has anyone else had this behaviour?  I assume it's probably caused by one of the many 
virus attacks I get each day.   

Does anyone know where Outlook keeps the passwords and email account info?  Is it 
encrypted in the registry?  (Wondering how far the corruption goes - just Outlook or 
perhaps it's a wider issue).

Any ideas anyone?
