RE: Windows Vista Mail asking for logon information now

Nevermind, I found a solution that works for the moment anyways, hopefully
for good. If you open windows explorer & go to
C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Protect
there is a folder there that has a bunch of numbers like S-1-5-393481413- &
so on, yours may have differant numbers but what you do is you delete that
folder then restart your computer, then restart windows mail & put in your
username & password, making sure you save it. A new folder should get created
to replace the one you deleted. Then it should work without putting in your
password everytime. Worked for me anyways.
