The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q170571 SYMPTOMS
The Internet Mail Enhancement Patch for Microsoft Outlook 97 (IMEP) will
save the password used to log on to your Internet e-mail server when you
check for new mail the first time. This occurs even though you may have
intentionally left the password field blank in the properties for the IMEP.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Internet Mail
Enhancement Patch for Microsoft Outlook 97 (IMEP). We are researching this
problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base
as it becomes available.
MORE INFORMATION
If you have intentionally left the password field blank in the properties
for the IMEP, you will be prompted to enter your password when you check
for new mail the first time only. The password you enter will be saved in
the properties of the IMEP. This functionality is different from the
Internet Mail service that is included with Microsoft Outlook 97, version
8.0. In the earlier version of the Internet Mail service it is possible to
have Outlook prompt you for your password each time you check for new mail.
