Ask passwords twice

Post by sjordi »

Hi,
I have some problems that may be related to an outlook patch?

Since more or less september 2009, each time I launch EZOutlookSync, it asks me for the mailboxes passwords twice.
So I have to type in the password twice for the source mailbox and then the password twice for the target mailbox.
Any way to skip those extra entries and enter it only once per mailbox?

Thanks for any help

Can confirm the behavior. Will check if it can be altered in a way to ask for password only once. Thanks!

Good thanks.
Amazing when Microsoft decides to change things without warning!
Maybe you can ask for the password and then pass it twice to the Outlook dialog box... if you can control that dialog box (which I doubt...)
Good luck

Hi,
just noticed an 2.2 upgrade and applied it.
Unfortunately, it still asks twice for the passswords. That makes me type 4 passwords when launching
EZOutlookSync. Twice for Outlook, twice for the Target one.

Did you have a chance to take a look at the problem?
Thanks

No, unfortunately not. But if you check the "Save this password in your password list" checkbox when the Password dialog window appears, it should ask for a password only once. Would that be an acceptable solution for you? Thanks!

Actually, if you check this box, then Outlook doesn't ask for the password anymore.
This is an Outlook problem and I never understood the goal of that option to save the password.
Once you save it, you don't need to type it in anymore, so what's the point in adding a password to your mailbox.
Ok, I will continue to type the password four times each time I synchronize: twice for outlook, twice for the copy on the USB key.

I think you'll soon don't need to. Don't want to sound too optimistic but it seems we've finally found a way to overcome that. The minor update is coming soon with this and couple of other fixes. Keep an eye open for it :)

Good, but I think the main problem comes from Outlook, not really your product.
But if you can manage to keep the password in memory and pass it to the 2nd dialog box asking for it that would be great :)

We cannot do that because that's Outlook, who's asking for the password twice and EZOS doesn't know what the user has entered. But there's still one workaround.. :)

Update: 3.01 version is out with this issue fixed. Please try it and let us know. Note it could still ask for the password twice but only upon the very first start. Thanks!

Works great!!!
I confirm it asks for the password twice at very first launch.

By the I checked for a new version directly from EZOutlookSync and it prompted with a dialog box that had no text on buttons.
See attach.

Thanks for the good work. It's easing the application usage.

Glad it works, thanks for the confirmation!

With regards to the update window - silent update (the same version number 3.01) available on the web site fixes it.
