It seems to work OK with mine (version 5.0, build 2022) except for the password bit. It's not too bad because you can set an empty password, and it seems to only prompt once per session (i.e. until you exit Outlook/Explorer and then go back in). But I would like to sort it out because it doesn't make any sense prompting for it when there's no password set.
