    Annoying Pop Ups for

    I get this annoying Windows Security dialog box every few minutes or so
    asking me to verify name and password. I have those already set up and
    password box is checked.
    It is driving me bonkers....How can I get rid of it? thanks

    Both you and "lockeym" need to find out which antivirus program
    you are using. Some of those have the nasty habit of corrupting the
    Windows Mail password store. Windows Mail is not compatible
    with most McAfee and Norton security programs. Those will need to
    be uninstalled, not just disabled.

    After uninstalling your non-compatible antivirus, reboot and check
    to see if email is working. If not, delete that account, restart WM,
    and re-create that email account because it is likely to have been
    corrupted by the antivirus program.

    At your convenience, download and install a more compatible
    antivirus like the free Avast:
    http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html

    Even compatible antivirus programs will need to have their
    email scanning option turned off. For more on this topic see
