Not sure with all ISP's and Eudora, but some ISP's require a cookie for their use, on your computer to let your password storage on Eudora work. Even though all POP servers should work the same, with all the virus problems and such some of the smaller ISP's are trying new things to help you, which sometimes hurt you. Jack Yes, I do allow cookies. I've been using Eudora for 4 years and this ISP for 2 years and the problem just showed up with this new version. Jim Think I have to let George think about it then. Jack ______________________________ Same with me. I'm taking care of two personalities, and when there is outbound mail from both, I have to enter the (same) password four times. It seems to think that it's going to have to dial in 4 times, but it's always accomplished in one call. I'm fairly sure cookies don't apply here -- we're not browsing the web, we're logging into a POP3 mail server. I'll be looking forward to this solution also. Randy Bosma **************END OF ORIGINAL MESSAGE TEXT************** Well, I HAVE thought about it and I'm stumped. Starting today, when Eudora tries to dial up, I get asked for my password again. If I go to Netscape, and the modem is not already running, I get asked for my password. If I manually start Dial Up, same thing. I'm using Concentric.Net and have noticed that those of you who have responded to the original query are using other servers that are not Concentric.Net; so, it seems to NOT be a problem with just one server. Here's a thought, last night I installed the latest MS Internet Explorer, Ver. 5.5. The problems started after that installation. Have the rest of you perhaps done the same thing and installed 5.5? If so, then I think it really screwed up the settings in Windows. I noticed that when the window popped up asking for my password, "Save Password" was checked, but "Logon Automatically" wasn't. That alone tells me that SOMETHING has screwed with my Dial Up settings! Oh, God, I hope I don't have to type in the password every time the modem tries to connect to my server! I have Eudora set to automatically dial up every 3 hours while I'm at work and that would really stop such automation. SgtGeorge

I do know that the bata IE5.5 has given some users very unusual problems, and yours may be in the mix. It is just like when AOL went to VER 5.0, and screwed up everyones DUN setup, to where only AOL could dial out. The repair takes about two hours to do correctly for that, in that you have to reload the network connectivity part of Windows, to repair it right. I have done a shortcut, for some, but it is not right. Good old AOL. The first thing I am thinking about, since IE was (in MS talk) incorporated totally into the Oper. Sys. and was not able to separate in their court pleadings, that they have messed around with the network area again. I have not let any of my clients that I have left go to 5.5. You may have to back up to 5.0. Jack
