when I save a password for an e-mail address, it saves ok until I access another e-mail address. Then it is lost. And visa versa. If I save the password from the 2nd e-mail address, it will stay saved until I save the other password ....

There is a difference between remembering the name and password in the Password Manager and a "remember me" check box on a web page to log you in automatically.
The latter usually involves the creation of a special "remember me" cookie that is stored on your computer and that is send to the server.
If that "remember me" cookie is removed or gets corrupted or is not send to the server then the server won't remember you anymore and you need to sign in once again.
