Vista - windows mail asks for login and password

I use windows vista mail for several months, with login and password 'saved
in memory'. Yesterday, when opening windows mail, there opens a dialog box
that asks for my login and password. The reason is that both, login and
password, have disappeared in my account settings. I'm sure that I have not
myself deleted these settings. The settings for smtp and pop server, and so
on... are not deleted. Any explanation? Can I trust it? Is there any risk
that, when I re-install my settings, these settings are sent to anyone? Can
the reason be any windows update?

Your username/password not being remembered is often caused by
interference from an antivirus program. Which antivirus are you running?
If this problem continues to happen, one thing you should try as a
possible quick fix is to delete that corrupted mail account, restart
Windows Mail, then recreate that account.

Email scanning in any antivirus should be disabled, for reasons
explained here:

If no improvement after disabling email scanning, consider upgrading
to Windows Live Mail, because it is less prone to suffering bad effects
from overly intrusive antivirus programs:
