Outlook/Exp do not save account password

Ok I have tried the common ideas.

Go to tools options and account and add the password. Is not saved.

Made a new account same thing.

Even tried setting up Express and it does the same thing.

The problem. Open up Outlook 9 or Express and hit the send receive button and I am prompted for a password. Enter that and click save, no good, put this in the account settings, no good.

This is on XP Home and using Verizon ISP.

This happened after a restore using the XP service but I am not sure when the problem happened to make this situation appear.
