Vista - Always ask input UserID and Password

Hi,

I use Vista Windows Mail as mail client.

I face the problem in POP3 mail accout that it already pop up asking for
user name and password for receiving and sending email every serveral days.

Even, I input the userID and password. It still pop up again and again.

I need to remove the POP3 mail accout and re-add it again return normal.
However, it happen again few days onward.

Anyone help? Thanks

news:eQt8HImwIHA.4952@xxxxxxThe first thing to consider is that a quirk in Windows Mail often makes it
forget the password if you click Apply in the same session that you put a
checkmark before Remember password. If you restart it, go back to the
email account page for Properties, then Servers, and the checkmark is
still there, try replacing the E-mail username: line and the Password: line
without disturbing the checkmark, then you can click Apply to make it
remember the changes without running into problems from the quirk.

Also, it can forget the password if the server is down and unable to let
you log in, so you need to do the same thing in this case.

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 starting with @, and some insist that you
don't. Many won't accept passwords with any differences in which
letters are CAPITAL and which are lowercase. The error messages
they give in these cases are often unclear about exactly what the
problem in your username and/or password was.

Thanks for your prompt help.

I would like to confirm your introduced steps.

1) disable "user name" and "password" remember option
2) restart Winmail.exe
3) in "user name" apply [line] and "password" apply [line]
4) enable the remember option
5) restart Winmail.exe
6) input my POP3 account "user name" and "password" again
7) enable the remember option
8) restart Winmail.exe

Besides, it is no problem in Outlook Express 6 with using same setting
including userID and password of POP3 mail server.

news:uQJrqQnwIHA.1504@xxxxxxNo, leave the remember password option enabled from before, but
enter the POP3 account "user name" and "password" again without
making any changes to the remember password option, only clicking
Apply to make it remember the changes you do make. The quirk
doesn't seem to be triggered if you click Apply without changing
the remember password option.

I haven't read anything about any version of Outlook Express having
this same quirk.

Thank you very much but it doesn't work

Which antivirus program are you running? Some of them tend to
corrupt the password store.

Gary,

I am using the symantec antivirus ver 10.2 (Vista support). I am confusing
the issue that antivirus program tend to corrupt the password store. And why
it have not such problem in Outlook Express 6.0?

It seems happening in Vista Windows mail.

Thanks

I don't know why. All I can report is the experience of thousands
of users who have posted here over the past 15 months.
