Vista - Windows Vista Mail asking for logon information now

05-19-2009

Same thing started today for me. I never had to logon before. Now all of a
sudden everytime I open up windows mail a box comes up saying
Windows Security:
logon to mail.lakefield.net
Please verify that both the username and password are correct for your mail
server.

I put in my username & password & make sure "Remember my credentials" is
marked. Plus in my account I have my password saved for both incoming &
outgoing mail. But for some reason it is not saving it all of a sudden. It is
getting frustrating to have to keep logging on everytime.
I have tried all I can think of. Can anyone shed some light on this problem?

Nevermind, I found a solution that works for the moment anyways, hopefully
for good. If you open windows explorer & go to
C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Protect
there is a folder there that has a bunch of numbers like S-1-5-393481413- &
so on, yours may have differant numbers but what you do is you delete that
folder then restart your computer, then restart windows mail & put in your
username & password, making sure you save it. A new folder should get created
to replace the one you deleted. Then it should work without putting in your
password everytime. Worked for me anyways.
