When opening Windows Mail the login pop-up window keeps asking for user name
and password. It doesn't stop, even when correct data entered. This started
by itself - does anyone have a solution? thx bob

If you are sure you are you are entering the correct username and
password, one possible cause for that error is account corruption.
One thing you should try as a quick fix is to delete that corrupted
mail account, restart Windows Mail, then recreate that account.

If that doesn't fix it, more drastic measures will have to be taken.
Which antivirus are you running?
As a minimum, email scanning in the antivirus must be turned off,
although that may not be sufficient to eliminate all bad effects.
In a worst case scenario, your antivirus may need to be uninstalled.

If turning off the email scanning function does not resolve your problem,
consider upgrading to Windows Live Mail, because it is less prone to
suffering bad effects from overly aggressive antivirus programs.

Email scanning in any antivirus must be disabled, for reasons

I just set up my new computer and am having the same problem. I even tried
different passwords. Now I can't even connect to windows mail to receive
new e-mails. HELP!

I don't understand why you would try different passwords. Either you
know the correct password or you don't.
Try logging in to your provider's webmail with that password. Does
that work? If you're not sure you have the correct username and password,
call your mail service provider.

I found that the user name and password have to be the actual id you are in.
For example if you have 2 or 3 id's make sure you are entering the specific
id for the email login that you are using. Anyway, that cleared up my
problem.
