| | 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. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (WLMail) "toye" <toye@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:542BBEAD-462B-41B8-916F-79AEC44A903D@xxxxxx Quote: > yes i need help..I discovered last nite the same thing.all of a sudden i > can't receive emails and its asking for log on security..what is going on.. > > "cec" wrote: > Quote: >> hello >> need help, all of a sudden today windows mail is askingme to input my user >> id & password. never did this till today. dont know why... cant get it to >> stop popping up.thanks in advance |

| | 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. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (WLMail) "JOE GAGZ" <JOEGAGZ@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:E009FE5C-2180-453F-B94B-8B79BA89ABB1@xxxxxx Quote: > Why is windows mail asking for USER name and pswd all of a sudden??? > > How do i turn it off???????? |
