    Outlook settings will not accept a password

    I've solved this. When I added the new password ( data file/change password) I ticked the box to save the password. As was pointed out to me the computer will then save the password, thus will not prompt for it at Outlook startup!

    Outlook settings will not accept a password

    One last question. Despite accepting this new password setting , my machine opened without the password. Do I have to activate it?

    Outlook settings will not accept a password

    Diane I am so grateful for your troubleshooting this problem I think I may have fixed this. Early last year I was using a password with Outlook. I found the password in my Password safe, and applied it to the 'Old password' field and it accepted the new password! Hooray - Err I think :-)

    Outlook settings will not accept a password

    Thanks so much Diane. However although I used the copy and paste entry, it was not accepted. Thanks also for your reminder about the insecurity of the password. As long as I can choose the time (!) of the trip for for the repair, I will remove my .pst file before handing the computer over.

    Outlook settings will not accept a password

    Thankyou for your response Diane. My problem is that I am trying, for the first time, to add a password (not change a password) I need to do this as my computer has an intermittent startup problem and I need to protect my data while the machine is out for repair.

    Thanks for the reply Diane My email is POP My missing calendar is part of my desktop installation of Outlook. Today a friend suggested that the photos that were transferred from my old iPad contained an iCloud mail account calendar which overwrote my desktop Calendar.

    Cannot read the calendar

    After running a System Restore, on your advice I turned off Outlook updates (as well as Windows updates,) but it still re-appeared. However to my surprise several days ago the problem disappeared. I note from your latest newsletter that MSoft has fixed it, but how could they do this with all...

    Cannot read the calendar

    I did not know about resetting. But have found your 'how to' now. In complete frustration I finally performed 'System restore'. I also set a months' delay for Windows updates. To my extreme annoyance , this morning at Outlook boot, the update announced itself, and even though I tried to close...
