Re: windows mail security

This happened to me when my ISP (clearwire) changed their server security to
require "all lowercase letters" in the logon ID. For example, in the server
tab in accounts, what had been working was: "Username@xxxxxx" and what I
had to do was change it to "username@xxxxxx". That fixed the problem. Try
and see if this works.

Re: windows mail security

So did you enter the correct username and password?
If you can't remember what that is, you will have to contact
your mail provider.

RE: windows mail security

OK guys, WHAT is going on with Windows Mail. Today 3/14/2008 is the very
first time windows mail is asking for my USER NAME and pswd, EVERY single
time i sign on. And if you click remember my credentials, that doesn't even
work! It does not remember your credentials.
Does anyone know how to disable this annoyance????????????

Re: windows mail security

Why are you asking the same question in two separate threads?

Which antivirus are you running? Some of them are not compatible
with Windows Mail, and will cause account corruption over time.

Re: windows mail security

Which antivirus are you using? Some of them are not very compatible
with Windows Mail.
