Re: changing password in WLM

There is no password for WLM, you just the one to access your email account.

Re: changing password in WLM

You mean the password for your email account? Only your email service
provider can change it. Go to their website, and they may offer a
procedure to change the password online.

Re: changing password in WLM

First change the password at the e-mail service. The procedure varies
by service.

Then in WLM go to Tools, Accounts, Mail, Properties, Servers to change
the password that WLM has stored for the e-mail account and passes to
the mail server when the mail server asks for it.

Windows Live Mail does not have a password.

If you opted to let WLM sign in to a Windows Live account, you have to first
change the password at the Windows Live ID site. Then go to the "Change
sign-in ID" in WLM, and change it there, as well.

If you do not let WLM sign in to a Windows Live account, then you have to
make any changes in the account properties ***AFTER*** you make changes with
the account online.
