Windows Live Mail will not recognize WM password when adding account

OH JOY 'TIS ME AGAIN!:confused::confused::confused::confused:

I do seem to have strange problems. Here's the story:
I have WLM & WM on my Vista pc. On my account it all works lovely with hardly any problems in one applicaton; open up WLM and my WM (example[email protected]) is available also.

On the different user account, that is another story.
I can open up WLM or WM in seperate applications; open up WLM, close WLM, open up WM, close WM.
But WLM will not incorporate the WM account.
I tried ADD ANOTHER ACCOUNT but though it starts off well it does not go past the password point and either keeps flashing the password login box at me for ever or it says the email account name and or password is wrong.
Now here is the strange bit - on my other pc all is well with this WLM, it rocognises the user name and password of WLM and desk top application mail (exmple[email protected]).

So do I give the different user Admin rights,will that make any difference? Or what?

Help would very much be appreciated!

Hi Timmah
Yes did that - it seems that it is me (how unusual) that is muddled, not WLM or WM. In my infinite wisdom I was adding an email account the wrong way round - darm me if I can not recall the right way round now :o But I think I had to go into WM pop account add WLM account and then it worked. I do believe I was doing it the othe way round - or of course visa-versa:o:confused: Anyway I will trying help out a friend to do the same thing :eek::rolleyes: so I WILL MAKE A NOTE of what I did and put it on this forum. It might help other nutters like me!
Thank you for replying.
