WFWG Mail Will Not Cache a Blank Password (107576)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11
This article was previously published under Q107576 SYMPTOMS
When you start Microsoft Windows for Workgroups Mail and are prompted for
the password, an option called "Remember Password" is available. This
option caches your password so that the password dialog box no longer
appears when you start Mail. However, if the Password box is blank and you
select Remember Password, the password is not cached and you are prompted
for the password each time you start Mail.
CAUSE
In Windows for Workgroups 3.11, Workgroups Mail cannot cache a blank
password.
WORKAROUND
There is currently no resolution other than not using a blank password. If
you choose a valid password, it is cached and you don't have to log on each
time you start Mail.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows for
Workgroups version 3.11. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here as it becomes available.
