Try deleting the bad account, restart Windows Mail, then recreate
that account. It may have become corrupted.

Re: vista windows & windows email & windows security

Some email servers insist that you enter your username with no spaces
and no CAPITAL LETTERS. Some insist that you follow it with the
part of your email address that starts with @, and some insist that you
don't. Many insist that you use CAPITAL and lowercase letters in
the correct places in your password. Many give rather vague error
messages if you violate any of these conditions.

Also, see if these help:
