I had run WLM probably for a couple of years - obviously I had signed into my mail servers initially and checked the 'Save passwords' boxes for both outgoing and incoming mail servers. I could open and close WLM with impunity and shut down my computer
- probably hundreds of times during that period and wasn't ever asked via a Pop Up to log on to my servers again because this was done automatically via the saved password feature.
My computer was recently upgraded to W7 from Vista and WLM had to be reloaded. Ever since then every time use WLM I have to input my passwords to each server again DESPITE these having previously been saved. via the Save Password check box
Other threads on here suggest that this is how it is meant to be is simply not true - if this is the case how come I didn't have to sign in (to my servers) for the previous couple of years. Also what is the point of having a check box to 'save password' if it doesn't actually do what it says on the tin??
This is an issue NOT a feature - something is not right (and for further information I have checked with my ISP there is nothing wrong with their servers and they confirm my passwords are working correctly).
I suspect that this is a programming glitch in a newer version of WLM - AND as it is doubtless going to cost money for a programmer to look at it and arrange for a patch/update to be issued that nothing will be done as the issue is seen as a minor inconvenience not worthy of attention. Sad but almost certainly true - the big Microsoft money making machine cares more about the money than satisfied customers.
