| | Re: Login Password Login password for what? Windows Mail itself does not have a password, but for each mail account you set up in Windows Mail you will need to enter a username and password in order to access the mail server for that account. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) "Sophia" <Sophia@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:01DED505-DB7C-481F-860E-B3FE26E705B8@xxxxxx Quote: >I have just change from microsoft outlook to windows mail and I can't seem to > find where to set my login password.

| | Re: Login Password Windows Mail doesn't have a password option for the program. Security is obtained with your Vista login account password. If other people use your computer, create their own user account & password to use. That way, they can't get to your files. -- Windows 7 beta http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview http://download.live.com/wlmail "Sophia" <Sophia@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:01DED505-DB7C-481F-860E-B3FE26E705B8@xxxxxx Quote: > I have just change from microsoft outlook to windows mail and I can't seem > to > find where to set my login password.

| | Re: Login Password Dave. You are wrong. Windows mail accesses an email account and this does require a password. Sophia. You will find the space for a password in the "Accounts Settings" found under the Tools menu.

| | Re: Login Password It's a fine point of distinction, but Windows Mail itself does not need a password. You could use it only for the Microsoft Communities news server (as I do) and never have to input a password. It is true that if you want your Windows Mail to access a mail server, the mail server will require a password. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) "Richard in AZ" <me@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:ePZMmBmzJHA.1096@xxxxxx Dave.

| | Re: Login Password Perhaps you're responding to the Dave who said nothing.... I stand by my statement... "Windows Mail doesn't have a password option for the program." Of course you have to provide the password to access your email account. -- Windows 7 beta http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview http://download.live.com/wlmail "Richard in AZ" <me@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:ePZMmBmzJHA.1096@xxxxxx Quote: > Dave.
