Recently new sites do not get save password message. Sites do not have autocomplete disabled. I have over 250 saved passwords, is there a limit on this feature?

Already saw that answer and checked. Thanks for trying. I'm able to load them with the Password Exporter Add-In but that is a pain. This seems server specific, similar apps (SmarterMail) on different servers of the same hosting company behave differently. I also have a Grease Monkey script that removes "autocomplete=off" but these pages didn't have that so IE didn't show that problem but I don't like IE (duh!).

That extension make the task easier but does not actually fix the problem. This happened a while back also then seemed to rectify itself so it may do so in the future.

Thanks, Stan
