| | Steve Cochran: Please help, Wmail Asks for account name and password Steve, I have two users set up in Vista and I have WMail accounts set up for each user with remember user name and password checked in the account properties. However, when ever one user logs off and the other logs on and starts WMail, WMail asks for the user name and password before it will get mail from the server. Is there a way to make WMail use the user name and password in Account properties instead of asking? Thanks, Steve Marriott |

| | Re: Steve Cochran: Please help, Wmail Asks for account name and password Yes, when I log off and my wife logs on, she runs WMail and when it tries to get the mail from the server, the window asking for the user name and password opens and the Remember Password has become unchecked.

| | Re: Steve Cochran: Please help, Wmail Asks for account name and password It sounds like you and your wife have different Windows logons, which means you and your wife's WinMail data and settings are kept separate. So the fact that *you* set it to Remember Password has no bearing on your wife's Remember Password status.

| | Re: Steve Cochran: Please help, Wmail Asks for account name and password I'm having trouble following you. You say "the remember password box stays checked but WMail forgets the password." If the password is present in the password field, yet the server keeps asking you for username and password, it means the password is wrong or corrupted. I would delete the account, close WMail, open it, and recreate the account. This should clear any account corruption.

I have no trouble following what you say, and that is not how it should work..However, I don't think we have an answer yet in Vista's WinMail. Does IE have the same problem with Web site passwords? (I'm not sure that it forgets, rather than asking anyway.) Try unchecking Remember Passwords, closing WinMail and checking it again. -- Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM http://www.fjsmjs.com Answer in newsgroup. Don't expect an answer to email. |

| | Re: Steve Cochran: Please help, Wmail Asks for account name and password Sorry about the miscommunication. The box stays checked but the password disappears when one user signs off and another signs on and starts WMail. If I am logged on and shut down the computer the passwords are present the next time I power up, log in and open WMail. It appears to forget the passwords only when one user logs off and another logs on.
