Windows mail

I cannot send or rec messages on windows mail. I am getting a pop up window
that I have neer gotten before asking for my user name and password. I do not
recall ever setting up a user name or password. I have been using the new
computer for several months and this has never surfaced until today.

Re: Windows mail

It isn't possible to have a mail account without a username and password.
Who is your provider (the part after the @ symbol)? Give them a call.

Re: Windows mail

One possibility is that Comcast is having problems.

Re: Windows mail

Either that, or your antivirus has corrupted the account.
